In this time of crisis, may the beauty of Haiti still shine
Lets stand united; please donate if you can
hoping to make a slight difference...

The Sans-Souci Palace was the royal residence of King Henri I (better known as Henri Christophe) of Haiti ([link]). Construction of the palace started in 1810 and was completed in 1813. It is located in the town of Milot, Nord Department. Its name translated from French means "without care."
Crippled by a stroke, King Henri I committed suicide on the grounds of the palace on October 8, 1820. According to Haitian legend, he shot himself with a silver bullet. He was subsequently buried in the Citadelle Laferriere
It's an UNESCO World Heritage Site

original commission oil painting, one of the latest I did

This is a very nice piece. I never thought Haiti was that beautiful. I hope this site was not damaged by the earthquake. For everyone reading this, please donate 8 dlls by buying the album Help for Haiti on iTunes. It includes about 20 songs from Beyonce, Shakira, Rihanna, Coldplay and many others and 100% of the profits will go to the Red Cross.
