Spring has come to Coconut Coast Studios, with all of the flowers in bloom, birds and bees buzzing happily around. Truffle continues to take her daily swim, wagging her tail, and rolling on her back. Elaine and Jen have stayed busy with the Wednesday evening parties, and keeping the gallery and shelves full for everyones enjoyment.

The Cleveland Clinic Exhibit was hung on April 5th and will be on display until mid July. Elaine will also have a piece on permanent exhibit in the International Department.

A photo of Elaine standing by the art will be in the summer newsletter, after she has an opportunity to go and see it herself. Each piece of art is a giclee reproduction, on canvas, sized 24” x 36”. They are for sale at $695 each, including shipping.

The 2017 calendar has been well received. We only have one original in the gallery left for purchase, “Mangrove Nursery”. All of the others have gone to good homes across the US and St. John. Elaine has begun the 2018 calendar, titled “Reflections”. As the name suggests, there will be reflections both above, and below water. She is a very busy artist right now. We expect to have the calendars available for sale by September. This will be another special year.

The season is winding down and we are starting to see less of our friends visiting the gallery. I hope that when you are on island, during season or not, that you stop by and visit with us. We only have a one party left for this season and will start up again the first Wednesday in November.

We now have gifts items on sale at Trunk Bay, Cinnamon Bay, National Parks Visitor Center and Friends of the National Park, Best of Both Worlds, Island Fancy, St. John Spice and The Westin Resort, Sunny & Co.

Hope everyone is healthy and happy! We will keep the waters warm and the sun shining for your next visit.

Best wishes~

Elaine and Crew
