James Wilson Morrice had a great attraction to traveling to sensual, light-drenched southern climes to paint, from North Africa to Cuba, Jamaica and Trinidad—the subject of this exquisite watercolour. Morrice developed this image into two fine 1921 canvases, both in the collection of the National Gallery of Canada—A Bathing Cove, Trinidad and Landscape, Trinidad (one of his most widely exhibited oils), which takes a slightly closer view of the same scene. Morrice traveled to Trinidad in January 1921, and as Charles C. Hill writes, “Painting at Macqueripe Bay and Las Cuevas, he was especially attracted to the beaches and the lushly verdant hills.” Nicole Cloutier notes that this location is Bull’s Head in Macqueripe Bay, not far from Port of Spain, and that “Morrice became quite fascinated with this landscape.” The proof lies in this dreamy, evocative watercolour, and the two paintings and the graphite drawing of this subject in the collection of the National Gallery of Canada.
