Sunny Hours in Jamaica (1924) - Henry Scott Tuke Art Print
Couldn't load pickup availability
Sunny Hours in Jamaica catches the one stretch of the day when a working harbor forgets to hurry. A man stretched flat on the shoreline rock has traded oar and net for a folded arm behind his head, his pale cotton shirt loose against skin warmed by island light, cap tipped to shade eyes already shut. Behind him the working sloop rides at anchor, gaff sail and jib both raised but slack, canvas the color of old paper against a sky washed in cloud-heavy blues.
Tuke built this in watercolor rather than his usual oil, letting wet paper bloom into turquoise shallows and soften the red-roofed shoreline town into rumor rather than record. The tropical harbor standing in the middle distance, hills folding blue behind rooftops, the whole scene rendered in the loose, sun-loosened washes of his late Royal Watercolour Society years.
This is 1924, decades into Tuke's career and an ocean from the Cornish light that made his name, the same loose hand now finding its subject in tropical harbor color instead of English summer sea, the same appetite for sunlight on water wherever it falls. No storm here, no labor either, just the pause a Caribbean port allows a boatman between tides.
Origin Story
Wall Art Size Guides
Framed Art Prints
1. Vertical
Use the sawtooth hanger at the top middle on the back of the frame and hang it on a single screw or nail.
2. Horizontal
Hang the two sawtooth hangers on two screws or nails at the same heightPut two screws or nails in the wall at the same height, spaced the same distance apart as the two sawtooth hangers, then hang your print on them.
Framed Canvas
1. D-rings (most secure)
Screw a D-ring onto the back of the frame on the left and right, both at the same height. A ruler helps here. Then put two screws in the wall where you want your canvas, level with each other and spaced the same distance apart as the D-rings. A spirit level makes this easier. Finally, hook the D-rings onto the screws.
2. Straight onto screws
Keep it simple: put two screws in the wall at the same height and rest the inner lip at the top of the back of the frame on them.
