Jean-Baptiste silk Painting | SAINT LUCIA FLIGHT BY CASHEW NUT TREE SHORT ART VIDEO
Channel: Daniel Jean-Baptiste
Date: 2023-05-04

A Saint Lucian parrot soars with grace
Through azure skies and sun-kissed space
Above a land of lush greenery
Beneath the Caribbean sun's potency
In flight, its feathers ablaze with hues
Of emerald, gold, and sapphire blues
A symphony of colours in motion
Fluttering in the island's oceanic notion
A cashew tree stands tall and proud
Its branches offer a shady shroud
A place for the parrot to rest and feed
A natural haven for its daily need
With beak to nut, it plucks a prize
A savoury snack to savour and surmise
Nature's bounty at its very best
A feast for this winged creature's quest
The Saint Lucian parrot takes to flight
Its beauty is a mesmerizing sight
A symbol of the island's vibrant soul
A treasure for all to behold.

Daniel is the originator of the shimmering light water technique, creating delicate hues of colour and light by painting the wet-on-wet method in which liquid paints are delicately applied using small Sumi bamboo sheep hair brushes.  The silk is positioned flat while suspended in a stretcher so that the wet colours can bleed freely on the fabric. The finished piece is water-resistant and lightfast, ready for framing behind glass.

Jean-Baptiste uses tropical nature as his inspiration and silk as his  Canvas.
