About
This piece was inspired by the glorious Poui Tree which blooms during the dry season months in the West Indies. They come in various beautiful colours including purple, yellow, red and the marvelous pink depicted in the painting. As you drive along the main highway in Trinidad during these months you would notice bursts of colour dotting the northern range. Its delicate petals litter the ground and is indeed a site to behold. The Poui is simply beautiful!
See this piece at my solo exhibition in October 25-31 2017 at Elizabeth James Gallery, London.
