Its been a busy month back in the studio. I'm getting ready for a show next month here in Seattle at the Neighborhood Cafe in Ballard. Our favorite breakfast/ lunch spot, it is absolutely delicious.
The new paintings are all shop fronts and street scenes from the small town of Potchutla, in Oaxaca, Mexico. I decided to just work small for this show. The largest piece is maybe 5"x 8" and so far the smallest is 1 1/2"x 2".
We spent 3 weeks visiting with our good friend Matt who moved to the coastal teeny, tiny town of Zipolite in Oaxaca. Potchutla is about 45 minutes from Zipolite but is also the closest bank machine. We had an amazing trip and I took far to many photos so that I would have lots of material to work from when we got home. I've never been one to work plein air. I prefer to take photos and keep a sketch book of notes, rough sketches, and journal entries. I packed minimal art supplies and then did not find much available where we were. So instead we enjoyed the sun, the empty beaches and warm waters of the Pacific Ocean.
