Jallim Eudovic is a well known artist on the island. He has travelled to China, Africa and the UK exhibiting his sculpture's. After his long trips away around the world he always comes home to St Lucia inspired to create his next piece of art and most recently he created a beautiful sculpture for Prince William & Kate's wedding as the official gift from the nation of St Lucia, check out his Facebook page for pictures of his wonderful creations.
When Jallim came to visit us while renovating Good Expectation he was keen to contribute in someway so we figured the best thing would be for him to join in with the painting of the hull but he wanted to do something more .....
Originally Good Expectation had some pretty fishes painted on the stern but they slowly faded while the renovations were taking place .....
So we asked him to come up with something to replace them. He went away and came back with the idea of an Amerindian Turtle design. Amerindians were the indigenous people of the Caribbean also known as the Arawaks & the Caribs.
Turtle's taking shape .....
Stencil on .....
And now he paints.....
We think they look gorgeous our lucky mascots, our Amerindian Turtles steeped in history, in memory of those who got into their canoes to cross the seas to the islands of the Caribbean.
We Love Our Turtles .....
