The exhibit is of "The Abaco Dinghy" and held at the Hummingbird Cottage Art Center in Hope Town. The opening is Monday Feb 2nd at 4:00 pm.
They are all 9 X 11 and framed alike. The frames are made by Doug Albury from Man O War Cay. (an island next to us) . He finds this old washed up wood on the beach, takes it back to his workshop, planes it, treats it, and mills it out into boards for frames. He then precisely assembles them to a specific size. It takes him a while to find the wood to work with. Guy waited a year for the 20 frames. The holes in the wood are created by burrowing worms from years and years ago. They are quite unique and very Bahamian.

Guy has been busy for the last little bit, framing and adding the hanging hooks and rope to the back. They have been stacked in our aft cabin for some time now...Although I will like the space they have taken up, I will miss them as they are all beautiful pieces. Next week.....back to the neglected boat projects or chores! Grrr! |
