Summer Magic

“Summer Magic” by Alton R. Lowe

This is one of my favorite paintings. It shows my father, Albert Lowe, on the creek shore in the village of New Plymouth on Green Turtle Cay. In the background is the shark house. It was used for storing shark skins, shark teeth, and shark livers which were made into vitamins in the United States.

Here daddy is completing one of his model boats, and telling stories to some local children. He always said “if you want to remain young, surround yourself with young people.“ Finally, one of the children has made his own boat out of half shell of a coconut with a seagrape leaf for a sail. The magic of summer when time seems to stand still. - Alton
