During Patricia’s visit to the seaside town of Bathsheba, Barbados, she captured the essence of the local landscape and it’s iconic rock formations. The heavenly blue sky rests atop the mountains that envelop the ocean, vegetation, and structures of the location.

The influence of Pissarro can be seen in the geometric buildings resting among the impressionistic palm trees and their surroundings. While he was from St. Thomas, the geographical elements of Barbados are strikingly similar. Both islands reside in the Lesser Antilles region of the West Indies.

The houses represent the perfect nuclear family dream that has always eluded Patricia. The mother, father, and their three children live just beyond the rocks in the sea.
