Tribute to the Polynesian Women of Pitcairn
If you ever wonder what I do to fill my time in when I am not teaching at the school or writing the Miscellany newsletter, or growing our vegetables, or baking our bread or swimming in the bay, then the answer is I dabble with my paints. The above photos show two large paintings I have completed since arriving on Pitcairn Island in February. The colours of Pitcairn Island are quite wonderful and inspire me to use vibrant bold paint. I’m aiming to complete one painting per month for the duration of my stay and I am quite sure I will never run out of inspiration.
Congrats Ruth! I know it's been several years since you painted these, but they're as beautiful and interesting as this blog is, despite the date. (Jen Mayo, VT. USA)
ReplyDeleteThank you Jen. I now live in Thailand and am still painting when I have time.
