This cool, atmospheric landscape from St. Kitts is an early example of Barkley Hendricks' work in watercolor, and the first to come to auction. In 1979, Hendricks had his first solo show of watercolors at Lyman Allyn Art Museum in New London, CT. He also later exhibited his watercolors of St. Kitts at ACA Galleries in 1982.
