It was an ordinary day. A few days ago I posted a story showing some of the remarkable artwork that covers the walls of homes, businesses and alleyways on the island of St. Martin/Sint Maarten. About three years ago many of the artists on the island began to paint just about any flat surface, and some curved surfaces, on the island as part of a program to enhance the image of the island that is half French and half Dutch. Carol and I have been visitors to the island for many years and have made many friends during those years, but we haven't been back to the island for three years now due to COVID-19. One of my friends on the island sent me photographs of most of the paintings that have been completed by individuals as well as groups of artists. A few days ago I posted a story showing quite a few of those paintings. Today I will show you more of the paintings so you can see what I will be able to experience once my wife and I are able to travel back to the island once again. Some of the paintings are done by one artist while others are by groups of artists. I hope you enjoy my final group of paintings. It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
