I was always very partial to this painting because it is a very "happy" piece with high key colors--- most of my art tends to be a bit darker. I painted this after visiting Negril, Jamaica in High school. I was 17 when I painted this. I remember watching these guys building this structure with limited tools and supplies. I think the guys orange shirt against the blue sky is the whole reason I decided to paint this one. The guy in the middle is handing up nails to the guy on top. Even if I try to paint something normal there always come out a surreal element to the piece.
16 x 20 oil on canvas glued to masonite.
