Hopetown is a very small place (filled with little houses, big palm trees, telephone poles and tropical plants) bordered on one side by a busy cobalt harbor, and on the other side by an expanse of empty turquoise ocean--and together making for a very interesing jumble of shapes and colors.

A very lively painting, Susan! And even the name Hopetown suggests a small friendly place!
This takes my breath away, Susan.
This is so beautiful, Susan.It reminds me of Governor's Harbour, Eleuthera, where I spent time painting over the years, and it reminds us of Homer's Caribbean watercolors.
What a difference in the colors from the set of paintings that emerged from the NW US trip! Both sets beautiful, & each one true to the environment that inspired it.
Phenomenal colors; I love how you've strung the pink throughout.
Thank you, all. Glad you like this one. The more I paint outside, the more mysterious the whole process seems to me--the combination of analysis and intuition, planning and impulse, is so complicated, that's its best not to try to figure the whole thing out at all, and instead just paint.
This is gorgeous! It's so representative of island colors--so vibrant and rich, but not heavy at all. WOW! love this, and the abstraction here, too.
Delicious color! Glad I found your blog and artwork!
