A study of fresh Mangoes (acrylic on canvas) painted by my husband, Geoffrey, earlier this year is a fitting addition to this blog, especially as it is his birthday! I will be posting his work regularly on this site as he continues to work on his collection of watercolour, acrylic and oil paintings. Geoffrey, a local Barbadian, is a landscape architect and environmental planner who paints in his spare time, primarily natural vistas, still life, and abstracts with a natural theme.There is nothing more refreshing than a sweet mango eaten fresh off the tree. A variety of mangoes are grown locally in Barbados. Mangoes are terrific blended in fruit punches and used for chutneys, sorbets or fresh fruit salads. Mango season runs through the summer months throughout the Caribbean.
Such a beautiful painting! I feel honored to have been able to view it in person : )
