thank you for the welcoming words, (home from panama) YAEL, JANE and EMELIE! XOXO

This is a peek of a corner of a painting i am working on right now...changing her drastically and loving it...it was one of those THROWN UNDER THE BED SO I WOULD NOT HAVE TO LOOK AT IT ONE MORE MINUTE deals. she's 16" X 20" X 2", so i won't have to frame her. i am still getting ready for the auburn, august artwalk...i'll divulge her soon I HOPE!

i was desperate at times, to draw and paint, so i pulled out a book i was going to give mike, for his library. we all had a good laugh, everytime someone looked through this book, as it has drawings, paintings and collages inserted. this is nothing new for many i'm sure, and for me it was fun! the pages gave immediate life to some sketches and the collage and paint were accepted readily!

i had to throw this one in for mi amiga miz katie, her tostito jar always seems to have some color of blue paint in it...mine had rum, pineapple and some coconut pieces thrown in, katie...i'll fix one for ANY of you, my friends, ANY day you show up on my doorstep!

A girl and her dad as the sun set beyond Penguino's...yep...the peguin restaurant!

the photo is not altered...sooo pretty...we all looked purple for awhile when we were eating at the restaurant :))

Penguino's Restaurant...while the tide was out...it goes up to that wall and has been completely underwater some years and they just keep rebuilding...

this is also at the very end of the village, Santa Catalina where the road ends at the ocean...GOTTA LOVE THAT!
