Cane Garden Bay Beach - Block Print

At HIHO our zest for graphics is some manifestation of the block printing, drawing & painting courses we endured as kids. Our grandfather was an accomplished painter, sculpture and restorer and mother HIHO put us through the art class drills.  

The block print pictured above is of a beach house that sat abandoned beneath the coconut trees at our favourite end of the Cane Garden Bay beach on Tortola. As a boy, Cane Garden Bay was, simply, exquisite. An evenly curving mile of sparkling sand rimmed with tall coconut trees lapped by the clear Caribbean Sea. Without fail we spent every Sunday there.  Our parents would mix cocktails with their friends while we played paddle tennis, built sandcastles and climbed coconut trees. We also cooked burgers on the grill and had a pot of baked beans which our mother would season with onions and molasses. Sadly, this end of Cane Garden Bay is now home to several bars and two hotels. While we still head down there for rum drinks or to go paddling, its a changed beach, still beautiful but sometimes crowded.
