Hello to all St. John Lovers

I am a bit late with the Summer newsletter….. for good reason. I was busy painting the 2019 calendar. It has just been finished, and I have to say, my arm is sore and tired. But the calendar is beautiful! It is a trip to many of the beaches of St. John; Maho, Honeymoon, Dennis, Salt Pond, Cruz Bay, Hanson and Frank Bays. All images are of the island post hurricane, and you can see, we are coming back very well. You can see them here on our new, improved website, on the originals page.

All originals are for sale, at $2500., and are 22” x 15”. Of course, if you want something smaller, or less expensive, you can order a tile, or a giclee print on paper or canvas. Just email us your requests. The calendars we plan to have for sale by September. Pre publication orders, and all orders are welcome thru the website. The calendar is a bit later than normal, but so goes this year…. Please know, we are doing our best, under the circumstances.

For all of you who have attempted to call us, and got the voice mail….. we never got your message. We had fixed the problem, temporarily it seems, and now, have no access to phone service. So sorry! Email works best, info@coconutcoaststudios.com, and include your phone number, and we will call you as quickly as possible. These continue to be the challenges of island life right now, ten plus months later!

Due to the most recent scare of the short lived Hurricane Beryl, we have closed the gallery, and are ready for any hurricane coming our way. We will reopen in October, and start the cocktail parties in November. We will continue to stay connected via email, and fulfill any orders. We are optimistic for the future resilience of St. John. The visitors who came this year were so appreciated, and all seemed pleased with our progress. Should you be on island this summer, please come by. It will all be closed up, but I will be here, and delighted to see you. Just give a shout!

I have kept busy, and will continue to work with St. John Community Foundation. We are all really working hard to bring the entire island to an improved level of beauty and resilience. I would like to thank everyone that did write to your Congressman/woman regarding the Caneel issue. To date, it is still in flux, with very little attention to the property. Being part of the National Park, it is such a shame that we do not have access. Time will tell.

Please know how much we appreciate having you on our email list. It is wonderful that I can keep in touch with all of you. I would like you to know that we never share your information with ANYONE, for any reason. And if you would like to unsubscribe, there is a button below.

Have a lovely summer, and stay cool!
Best wishes to all,

Elaine and Crew at Coconut Coast
