My Caribbean Collection. All my Caribbean paintings are from Nevis. When I first visited, I thought I would be painting landscapes but I ended up mostly painting Nevisians, either portraits or scenes where Nevisians are at work or enjoying themselves. When my husband came home after fishing with so many different fish, I painted them too, and I painted the cockerels as they are always walking by! I love painting black skin - so many colours in dark skin to paint. The rich colours and the play of dark and light is perfect for my approach to painting. From Nevis I’ve painted around 40 paintings, mostly watercolours and some large canvases. www.michellescragg.co.uk www.michellescragg.com www.scraggdesigns.com email address [email protected] Facebook : michelle scragg
