Celebration of the arts at the Governor's House in the Cayman's Islands. This 2nd annual event was open to the public and we had a wonderful crowd come out and join us in painting 2 murals with local artist Wray Banker of The National Gallery. Governor Peter Smith came by and painted a duck on the mural! Artists from all different media were on hand to demonstrate their work to folks of all ages. It was a tremendous fun event and our first in the Caribbean. Thanks to Leslie Bigelman, the Director of The National Gallery in the Cayman Islands.
