A GOOD LONG LOOK

My trusty camera died about 2 weeks ago. I am going to wait until I return to the states next week to replace it. Puerto Vallarta is one hard place to leave. I am going to miss this view and of course the perfect temperature and kind people I cross paths with every day.
Tonight is our monthly opening at STUDIO 277. I will post a YOUTUBE next week. The show looks terrific exhibiting 9 artist's work.

LIFE IS GLORIOUS

The world is topsy turvy. I am smelling the roses and appreciating every hour of every day. Hope you are too.

Rustic and Crusty

South of Puerto Vallarta is the village of Yelapa, accessible only by boat. Yelapa is a blast from the past : very simple, rustic and suited to a very bare bones,  natural, care free lifestyle. .....inhabited by many artists.

Artist - DEE DEE AGEE SPRECHER

The James Library and Center for the Arts in Norwell MA is featuring DEE DEE AGEE's work for the month of March. She not only paints, draws and makes mono prints, she is a writer. You can listen to her words on her web site or at her OPENING March 4 6-8 PM   www.DeedeeAgee.com

CHIPS Y HUMMUS

A lot of chips are consumed in Mexico. They are delicious and hummus is a nice break from the every day salsa and gaucamole. Puerto Vallarta has a Farmers Market every Saturday with Organic produce, and fresh organic hummus, pasta, homemade sauces, meats, flowers, soaps, essential oils, fresh breads and baked goods. They even have puppies and kittens for sale and a chinese cook stand for breakfast while you are shopping! All of this to live music. It is definitely a "happening'
Check out the February Challenge www.girlsjustwannapaint.blogspot.com and the featured article about this group of fun painters in South Shore Living magazine http://www.ssliving.com/South-Shore-Living/march-2011/girls-just-wana-paint/

WINTER EDGE

Last post was painted in the snow as I dreamed of summer. This post is painted from a warm climate. Go Figure!  This is the subject for the www.girlsjustwannapaint.blogspot.com Challange. Check out all of the talent with this gang.

COMMISSION

Kind of weird to be painting a summer scene with a fresh foot of snow outside! This is a commission. I have painted variations of this scene throughout the years. Apparently this beach is now completely gone due to erosion, storms and earth shifts. I hope the painting is well received. Time to go and shovel.

These last 2  are Jane's pieces. What a mentor!
She also has a fabulous art collection and 3 of them in this home are by Becky Joy!!! and they are gorgeous

SEASCAPE

The paintings in my studio had better hide if they don't want to be touched up and changed...I am on a rampage, I think this one was begging for a little more punch. What do you think?

This can be seen in the MOTION juried show at the South Shore Art Center. The reception is Friday 6-8. All invited
