Basti the Coconut Man

Basti the Coconut Man
6 x 4 pencil on paper

When we were in the Cayman Islands on our honeymoon Basti would clean the beach in front of our villa. He is a very interesting fellow who certainly works hard supporting his family in Jamaica. He would collect and open the coconuts we used to make our morning pina colada drinks. Thanks Basti!!

Cayman Islands Sunrise

Cayman Islands Sunrise
4 x 6 pencil sketch


Our recent honeymoon trip to the Cayman Islands produced a few pencil sketches. Here is the sunrise from our bedroom window. Really great skies because of the approaching hurricane.
Our neighbors, Cheryl and Dan Phillippi let us stay in their timeshare. What a great experience!!
