Newest Vieques Island Paintings

I am finally painting again after months of not painting. It took two close friends of 33 plus years to come to Vieques and really get on my case! And they did. I had become very involved in beading jewelery for months and months, and months and months.Perhaps thats what I needed as it was a mindless obsession! Now I will put the same energy into painting. i have switched painting mediums and am now working in acrylic and it is like I am learning to paint again. Of course it does not help that I have not lifted a paint brush since last year. Soon I will start my Annual Chincoteague Island Pony Poster and eventually start painting the wild horses of Vieques Island.

This top painting is Punta Arenas on Vieques Island. The next painting is of Sun Bay on Vieques Island.

Two new Vieques Oil Paintings

These were finished this past week. They are each 9x12 inches, and are oils. I am still painting almost every day and am quite versatile in my subject matter. It is time to start some new ones of Vieques as what I am currently painting is Chincoteague Island scenes. These two paintings will go into a local Vieques art gallery for sale. The window is from an abandoned house in Monte Santo barrio. And the other one is of the caves at Navio Beach.

"La Chata" oil painting, Vieques Island, Puerto Rico

"La Chata" features a late afternoon on the beach. This beach is close to my home. When my daughter was young we would walk with our dogs along this beach, and spend countless hours beach combing this stretch of beach. La Chata is a favorite for the local surfers, especially during the winter months. I remember when there was just a few houses along the beachfront here, it is not like that anymore. The beach is still great with reefs and interesting shoreline.

Painting on Vieques Island

Everyday is incredible beautiful. To wake up every morning and be look out at the ocean, watch the hummingbirds, and listen to nature is total serenity. There is not a day that my mind is constantly clicking pictures in my head to save for the next painting. I am so fortunate to be here, it took years of hard work. Working my gallery in Chincoteague Island seventy to eighty hours a week in season, is what made it possible to retire and paint on Vieques. Chincoteague will always stay close to my heart and paint brush.
