it's cashew season!

This afternoon Whitney, Steven, and Emily dropped by to sell me roasted cashew seeds. The girls' mom, Ruthlen, is a recently-discovered artist and we are engaging her to create original island art for our rooms.

(Hat tip to my friends Lynn and Mike for discovering Ruthlen's impressive talent).

let there be art!

This afternoon I delivered to Ruthlen sixteen blank "canvasses" (24-inch marine plywood squares painted white). Ruthlen is a local artist we are engaging to create original art for our rooms. It will be exciting to see the progeny of her creativity!

Ruthlen has started to deliver the island art we commissioned her to create. It's beautiful! I'm loving it!
