Jamaica Sunsets in demand in photograph and paintings

All over the world the sun sets and rises again. I have never known of any other place that sunsets are in high demand as Jamaica. I also questioned why more persons were requesting paintings of Jamaica sunsets especially of me. I came across this is sunset photographed by Barry Groves, and with the usual tree from the palm family which has become almost a signature of Jamaican sunsets.
Its any ones guess where in Jamaica this was done. The way the sun peeps through the leaves and glows from behind the waters is unique to Jamaica for may persons. For others its all about the colours created when that vibrant tropical sun waves across the Caribbean Sea creating orange and yellow hues and more. Someone who keeps coming back for larger and larger Jamaica sunsets painted by me finally explained they made her clients at a nursing home happy. I suddenly realised sunsets are not cliche, but through painting one you can send so many messages across the seas to persons you may never meet. I wind up painting more now myself. I have a new understanding of my own expressions as Barrington Watson's telling me that my use of colour was exceptionally strong and unique before he died now registers in volumes. Then he was looking at one of my blue sunsets which actually got stolen from a gallery in Florida. Until it got stolen I didnt think much of it because I wondered if anyone would have loved it enough to buy it. BUT someone actually stole it! Then someone else ordered a green, totally green sunset and when I saw how it enhanced the decor in their home where everything was hues of green I was amazed. These are good reflections as I now understand sunsets are not cliche. So now I understand the demand the increase for painted sunsets. When I go again to write about 'sunset' artists along Jamaica's North coast who specialise in a variety of sunsets, I will make sure to tell them.. Keep painting regardless of your storm because you never know whose life youll brighten.
