"Nevis
- Sunshine's by Moonlight" by Paul McGehee. In the Eastern Caribbean
lies a gem of an island, Nevis...long known as the "Queen of the
Caribees." It is an island paradise of palm trees, waves lapping at the
shore, and little monkeys playing in the treetops. Aside from its
tropical beauty, Nevis is also rich in history...Alexander Hamilton
grew up on Nevis, Horatio Nelson was married on Nevis, and the first
skirmish of the young United States Navy occurred off of her shores.
Nevis was also at
one time one of the leading producers of sugar cane in the world. The
four mile by eight mile island's topography boasts of beaches, rain
forests and lush green hillsides with rushing streams known as 'ghauts'
which carry rainwater down the mountainside. One of the island's many
beaches is the beautiful Pinney's Beach on the Caribbean Sea...an
unspoiled strand of soft, white sand at the foot of majestic Mount
Nevis. Pinney's Beach is where you can find a little slice of Heaven
known as "Sunshine's
Beach Lounge" which serves up some of the finest
food and drink you will find anywhere...including their world famous
"Killer Bee" rum punch! Sunshine's is a favorite of locals and visitors
alike, including some of the most famous names from the world of
movies, sports and music. This moonlit view looks back from Pinney's
towards Sunshine's and Mount Nevis...a beautiful sight! "Nevis -
Sunshine's by Moonlight" is faithfully reproduced as an
archival-quality print from McGehee's original color pencil drawing,
each hand-signed by the artist.
