This is my second sketch from the isle of St Kitts. I took the photo from the Scenic Railway car, camera in one hand and rum punch in the other. I really liked all those charming little houses, painted in cheerful ice cream colors, with their corrugated tin roofs, and brilliant white shutters. St Kitts is building lots of small houses like this "low income houses" they are called. The goal is that everyone who wants a house will have one. That's the Atlantic Ocean in the background, much darker and wilder than the Caribbean.

This is just the sort of memory we all need at the moment! I do love how colorful some place make their buildings (ie Mexico, Guatemala)! I wish we did that sort of thing in Texas!
Great job! I think you did the waves very well and well, the whole picture looks great.
Very well done!
