Hello Everyone,
My name is Mary Punnett-Nelstrop.
I am Trinidadian born, but grew up in St.Vincent & the Grenadines; currently residing in Canada.
I use acrylics to create my works of art.
My paintings are quite colourful, and somewhat vibrant!
I also like painting Canadian scenes/landscapes.
Most of my inspiration comes from light and colours that portray my works of art.
My inspiration in painting "catch of the day" came from growing up on Villa beach. The fishermen would go out in their boats and cast their nets off shore a couple times a week. The sounds of the famous Conch shell being blown could be heard distinctively to let us know they were bringing in their catch of fish for the day as depicted in this painting.
Hope you enjoy my paintings!
Great Aunt Mary
