Poinciana by the Sea
I created this piece back in 2002. It's a digital painting I did free-hand using only a computer mouse with various brush tools in Adobe Photoshop. I had it redone with AI in acrylics.

The Versailles Gardens of Paradise Island: A Tropical Synthesis of History and Art

The Versailles Gardens of Paradise Island: A Tropical Synthesis of History and Art
Introduction
Located on the narrow stretch of Paradise Island in the Bahamas, the Versailles Gardens represent one of the most remarkable architectural and horticultural feats in the Caribbean. A multi-tiered masterwork of landscape design, the gardens serve as a lush, formal sanctuary that leads toward the crowning "Cloisters"—the physical remains of a 14th-century French monastery. While the Bahamas is primarily celebrated for its turquoise waters and coral reefs, the Versailles Gardens offer a profound counter-narrative, blending medieval European stonecraft with the vibrant, untamed beauty of the tropics.
