Some mid winter efforts

"Montes de Oca" 24x30 in. oil on canvas
One of the steeper calles in San Miguel
By the time you've made it this far up the hill you're in need of a good rest. I almost got run over by a guy that started slipping backward while I was painting on this narrow street about 5 years ago. This one was done in the studio!




"Allende Corner" 12x9 in. oil on panel






"Sunny Morning, San Miguel" 9x12 in. oil on panel




"Morning at Los Rodriguez" 9x12 oil on panel




"Morning Light" 9x12 oil on panel

All the small ones were done this month, mostly on location with Donna's plein air classes.
Oh wait!! -the "Rodriguez" was done with our almost new Meet Up Group. It's really taking off with the plein air enthusiasts around San Miguel. We started it back in October as an alternative way of painting with a group without having to run around giving advice at the same time. I think we had one taker at first but I see we have 11 slated for the upcoming trip to Comonfort next Saturday. It's really been fun - we're meeting once a month at present but this could be increased .................
