Regatta time!

The Nautical Scene

original collage

sxm series #5

Today was the first day of the 31th Heineken Regatta on St. Maarten.

It is one of the major annual happenings and the island is full with tourists, sailors and party-lovers in general. Tomorrow we will be watching the races from a catamaran that will sail to the first buoy and I look forward to witness it tremendously. Every night after the races there is a very extensive party programm, with the ultimate show being organised Sunday at the beach/bay where the races end: Kimsha Beach in Simpson Bay. Wycleff Jean will be the main attraction and we intend to go there too. My daughter is sure I won't like his music, so now I have to go to Youtube to get an idea of him, we'll see. But first: the races, tomorrow. Will make many pictures, promise!

Enjoy your weekend,

Regina

Nested in...

The Lowlands of St. Martin

sxm series #4

In case you wonder about the name of this collage, I will try to explain.

Once the collage was almost done, I stamped the two lizzards with acrylic bronze paint. They seemed appropriate to me with regard to the color of the images at first, and afterwards I paid more attention to the text that reads (click) ' Nested in the Lowlands of St. Maarten'. The lowlands is a beautyful part of the island that is situated mostly on the French part (Terres Basses) and yes, like everywhere else on the island, these lizzards might have nested there, as there seems to be an abundance of these useful creatures here. The atmosphere of the collage resembles our Lowlands somewhat, so there everything comes together: that is one thing I find so very intriguing of making collages.

Thanks for coming by today!

SXM series 2

This is one of the collages I made last week. I realized that I really should make some island related collages too, and because this promises to be a wonderful Friday (don't know why, it just feels that way!) I chose to show you this reddish work: it makes me happy, and curious what comes next...

Now I'm off to my Body Balance class

Hope you enjoy your day!
