Coconut Palm Tree
This is such a beautiful painting of a coconut palm tree that I thought I would share it with you.
Some think it was painted at Solomon Beach on St. John.
Without knowing who the artist is or any further information, I can’t say for sure.
I attempted to find other artists with the same last name and compare the signatures but didn’t have any luck.

Update: Thanks to Dr. Dante Beretta, I have confirmation that indeed this is a painting of Solomon Beach. Have a look at his photograph.
Solomon Beach
Solomon Beach is one of the prettiest beaches on St. John. It has the softest white sand, shade, and crystal clear blue water. It’s definitely a favorite with locals and visitors alike. No wonder the artist felt moved to capture it on canvas. Thank you, Dante!
