Thursday morning I revisited the wonderful gallery of Roland Richardson, in Marigot. My last visit was three years ago with my late wife . Such a wonderful experience as I paired it with a walk through of downtown Marigot. This time I not only visited with Roland, but also met his lovely wife Laurie and his very helpful assistant! The beauty of the brightly colored works of art is a delightful experience and certainly worth the effort to visit ! I highly recommend a visit , knowing that many of you have enjoyed his gallery in the past. I could not resist purchasing a beautiful print for my girl friend who is a watercolor student .

I am having the beautiful print framed, to give to my girlfriend for Christmas. The framer recommended “museum glass” , which is nearly invisible, with the matting and white frame . It should be finished by Christmas. I held the print, packaged in cardboard, in front of me on the jetliner, which was an issue for one of my stewardesses on the flight back to Philly/ Cincy. However, the nice fellow by the window agreed to hold it during takeoff, so the stewardess was ok with this. I was in the middle seat. I declared the purchase in Philly and had to go through a complete search of my baggage and carryon in Philly, but the agent was nice, but asked a lot of questions ! All ok !

The print I purchased, without frame, cost $375.00. There are smaller prints at a lesser price. There are many numbered prints to choose from. If you purchase it framed, the cost is higher of course. They are really beautiful ...I purchased my first several years ago. The gallery is open Thursday’s only in Marigot, not far from Fort St Louis. A total delight !

Does original art have to be declared? Generally, anything you are bringing back to the US that you didn't have when you left, must be declared.

Enjoyed your photos of st.Martin and Roland Richardson and his studio. Biglar, by coincidence, “Blue Agave “is the print I purchased this trip !
