Ed. comments:
"Ernest has used some nicely controlled sand shading
which presents itself well. A rather pleasant 'sleepy feel'
to this picture for some reason. Most soothing!" 
2nd place, Class 6B in the 2012 International Marquetry
Exhibition, Chelmsford, England
As shown on the front cover of the 2012 Fall issue of
The American Marquetry Society. 

This piece was created from a photo we took in 1990
where Puerto Rico was one stop on a Caribbean cruise.
This is a miniature and measures only 2.9" (7.4cm) x 3.9" (9.9cm), scalpel
cut and was finished with 1 coat of a 1:1 mix of
polyurethane gloss and mineral spirits acting as a
sealer then 3 coats of gloss poly.
Final polish used was Renaissance wax.
