Oil on canvas
Inspiration
for this painting originated from Sydna's numerous Caribbean vacation cruises.
You can feel the tropical breeze just looking at this piece.
The painting depicts a peaceful scene, with a relaxed feel - something you'd expect in the tropics. People are moving about, maybe a business transaction is taking place on the street, and boats appear in the distant water. Meanwhile, the scene's dominant figure, a woman in the foreground, appears to be on a rooftop, taking it all in.
Everything about the piece is relaxing, including the distant clouds. Typically, Sydna adds a lot of expression into her skies. And, in a way, the skies tell this painting's story as well - hazy, slow moving, and sun-bleached. Another beautiful day in the caribbean.
