GOODNIGHT IRENE
8 x 8" Acrylic Collage

This is a painting I worked on during the time that Hurricane Irene was coming over my little island of Green Turtle Cay, Abaco Bahamas.  The power was out and I was running on my generator.  I was very fortunate to have three of my friends staying with me during the storm.  After the storm power was off for 9 days so it was a constant battle to keep the generator fueled and find fuel on the island.  Everyone pitched in and helped with the storm cleanup and there is already a blush of new growth on the trees which lost all their folige from the winds.  I lost 3 trees but a kind neighbor came by with his chainsaw, cut them up and hauled them away.  Kindnesses like this are the reason I choose to live here.
