this painting is a tribute to one of the greatest jewelers in jamaica, Alphonso Jackson, who left this planet a few years ago. Maybe some of you knew him and his work. He was a dear friend. For those of you who are not familiar with his incredible jewelry, his wife, Diane, has been carrying on. She generally sets up at LTU pub.
I have set up an album on my facebook page...images of jamaica, for those of you who would like to see.
Prices?
What a great piece of art, Alfonso was a friend and Diana is to this day, I have a number of pieces of jewellery from over the years from Alfonso and I have a couple of Diana originals as well.
What a great way to start my Sunday morning.
Peace,
Islander
prices run from $900 to $6000Quote:

If I could get beyond stick figures I could paint all day with the vibrance of Jamaica.
the thing is, booger, that if you really wanted to use painting to express yourself, starting with stick figures might just be incredible. everybody has the ability. it's the judgments about whether or not it's good that keep us from so many self expressive activities.
Elise, I messaged you on FB. Look for it in your "other" in box
hi lady jane, i didn't get it
you certainly did not miss your calling...

Great painting.
