Celebrating 38 Years of Grenada Independence

Today is Grenada's 38th Independence Anniversary and I wish I was home for the celebrations. Right about now I could do with a lovely day on the beach with family, a nice BIG POT of OIL DOWN and the wonderful smell of spices and island love!
In honor of my island, I created this painting quoted by Maurice Bishop "Forward Ever Backward Never"... Somehow I added the extra "S" to backwards while painting this!

Check out this video from Spiceklyn's Youtube link from the Grenada Youth Fest Committee in NYC :

Here are a few jewels inspired by my sweet Spice Isle from the Aye' Shanti Collection:

Many blessings my dear Grenada, Carriacou & Petite Martinique!
