Sail of the Day 36″ x 48″ Oil on Canvas Although the rain is coming from across the hills, that doesn’t stop the sailing. A brief flash of sun in the afternoon lights the sails, and the captains run towards their wooden boats and the race begins. It won’t be long now…Work Boat racing on…
Meeting There is Going to be a Meeting, Acrylic on Canvas, Susan Mains 2013. I know that Monet is the famous one for painting water lilies, but what if he had come to the Caribbean? Surely his soft, pastel hues would have brightened to fully saturated colours, and his shadows would have come alive…

Asher Mains paints Nelson Mandela Asher Mains painted this iconic hero portrait a number of years ago–when he was still in this three colour stage of yellow, red, and purple. The emphasis for this series is that the colour of skin doesn’t make the man–and certainly Nelson Mandela’s life is an example of that philosophy.…
A year ago, in very slow economic times, we closed our eyes and made a leap of faith. To take Art and Soul Gallery to another level we expanded our space in Spiceland Mall. The new space is large, welcoming, well lit, modern, cool, and best of all, filled with the work of some…

60″ x 48″ Oil on Canvas Asher painted this work a couple years ago during the time of the earthquake in Haiti. What struck him was how in a matter of minutes the work and building of centuries had been levelled–turned to dust. This started his thought process on the theme of this painting. He…
These wooden boats that are raced in Grenada and the Grenadines have a life of their own propelled by the love of the sea by the men and young men racing them. They may not follow the rules of international sailing, but they have a code all their own, often loudly disputed at the end…
While Grenada is a tropical paradise with beaches, palm trees, rain forest, and lushness, it is also an island where real people live. People who like mutton. Thus, goats and sheep are a regular part of the landscape. Not in huge flocks in fields, but by the ones and twos, usually tied to a stake…
I nearly put “rules” in quotations in the title because it comes across a little more hard and fast than I mean it to. There is something to the idea that given infinite options, creativity is limited. Give yourself constructive boundaries and flourish within your bounds. These “rules” are things that I’ve learned over the…
So could it have rained any more on the Saturday of the Grenada Sailing Festival 2013? I suppose so. We may not have had those 5 minute bursts of sunshine that created all the drama in the skies. The sailors didn’t mind the rain, they were wet anyway. And I was wet. I didn’t mind–no…
