Still Life
A bouquet of flowers decorating the serving table at Casa Luna the night of our "get acquainted party." It had a lot of flowers that we would not normally think of putting in a bouquet--geraniums, bougainvillea, oleander, along with beautiful roses, and small calla lilies(?).
Sedona Revisited
After I finished this painting, I couldn't come up with a name for it. I never have a plan when I do an abstract, I just try to have fun with shapes and color. But I do think this painting was influenced by the visual images seen and felt on our trip to Arizona just weeks before I started it. (9/10)

Mexican Folk Art--Monstrances
A monstrance is the vessel used in Roman Catholic, Old Catholic, and Anglican churches to display the consecrated Eucharistic host, during Eucharistic adoration or Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. Created in the medieval period for the public display of relics, the monstrance today is usually restricted for vessels used for hosts. Wikepedia

The Spirit of San Miguel, April 13-20, 2011
Samano De Santos (Holy Days) and Art Retreat in San Miguel de Allende
Can pictures capture the beauty and magic of the week (April 13/20) we spent in San Miguel? I think they will be wonderful reminders, but the spirit of the people, places, food, and color will stay in my heart until the next visit.
There were 24 women (and two brave husbands) who shared their love of art, Mexico, and warm friendship during this week.
The people--kindness, devotion, pride--beautiful!

Quick Self Portrait
Started this painting on a cold, rainy day in March. I like the loose, unfinished (under-painting) feel of it, but I see the ears, eyes, & nose are not "right." I haven't gone back to it because I'm afraid I will try to "fix" everything and it will lose its spontaneity.

Bring in the clowns...
I saw this (vintage bank reproduction) clown on someone's FB page not long ago, and because I've always loved clowns, the image stayed with me. While my husband and I were on our Saturday walk, we stopped at a garage sale, and there he was--I love serendipity.
