Children at Play

“Children at Play” by Alton R. Lowe
Gillam Bay, Green Turtle Cay

Many years ago now, I painted this scene with the intent to show the incredible natural beauty of Gillam Bay. There was a time when we took this jewel of The Bahamas for granted. It was there and would always be there for us. The bird sanctuary, the bonefish flats, and the stunning beach around the bay have been loved, and enjoyed by generations of Bahamians. One senses a tranquility provided by a kind Mother Nature. It has long been a spiritual place where tired and troubled individuals have come to find peace. Others have enjoyed the beautiful water, shallow enough to be a safe place for children to play and swim. This beach is within walking distance from the village of New Plymouth. Let’s protect it for now and for future generations of Bahamians, as well as expatriates and visitors. - Alton
