Flamenco Beach Morning Bliss

I keep creating paintings in Culebra. The trip was just so magical and this watercolor sketch of Flamenco beach is probably the best landscape I have  done to date (10/2022). 

As a kid I fantasized about being the Illustrator sent  along with Charles Darwin or Alexander Humboldt on their voyages. I dreamed of being on a lonely beach in the Caribbean tasked with  recording a strange and fantastic place and all it's species. I spent  hours in the library and poured endlessly over illustrations made in the  field. When I sat down in my folding chair on Flamenco beach, void of  tourists and without any boats anchored in the bay, I felt my dream had  become reality. I cherished every second, sweat beading up on my  forehead in the sun. What a glorious day!
