Hello! Been a very long time since I've posted...hope everyone is doing well!

I'm hoping someone could answer a question for me. There's a painting in El Divino (at least it was there a couple of years ago) and I'm wondering who the artist is that painted it. In this picture it's the one on the right and I believe the same artist painted the two smaller ones as well.

Me and my wife loved his/her style. Any idea??

Thanks!!

i love those paintings!

If they are the ones I am thinking of, the artist is Carolyn Carr. Most of the artwork at El Divino is by this very talented lady. She has a gallery at Banana Bank Lodge on the mainland, some of her pieces can be viewed online at Banana Bank's website.

Yup, those are Carolyn's and still there. Great work (you have a fantastic eye for quality, TQ )!.

I have not seen Carolyn do boat and water scenes..mostly Mayan and mainland stuff.waterfalls..etc..she is exceptionally good..

Walter Castillo?

Painting on the way far right of the photo - sure looks like Walter Castillo - the resolution of the photo is not so great but google Walter Castillo and see if he's the artist you seek.

PS - here's a link to Walter's art:

ahh...........think you be right, W & D. I shoulda looked at pics. Was thinking of opposite wall & stairway.

(TQ, your taste still stands in high esteem)

I have 2 and even from a distance I thought they looked familiar.

Is it a sailboat scene in a harbor with interesting downward paint strokes? If so, this is one of my very favorite artists as well Can't recall his name at the moment.

Sunbreeze has more of these paintings.

Its Marcos Larios. I have a few too. they look kinda like the paint is drippy.

here's one, lousy shot with my camera phone

Thank you everyone for the replies. I appreciate it!

Marcos Larios is the artist, beautiful work!!

Thanks Marty!

very nice!

What is the story / history of the artist? He is my favorite

Marcos used to live on the island but last I heard was in the US. I do have a bio for him somewhere so will try to find it. At Gecko Graphics we have some of his paintings under license to reproduce either on ceramic tile or as prints and greeting cards.
