FERRETERIA

The hardware store. One of the reasons I like Mexico is that you are  in a different, relaxed culture. The stores are very small and family run. Dogs and kids are part of the business too

PARADISE

This painting has taken me almost a week to finish! I have been traveling for almost a month now and I don't have all of my comfortable canvas, brushes etc with me. This is the place I am living in this week...no snow here!
The apartment has a very narrow spiral staircase so I needed to use 2 canvasses to get the size I wanted.

PARADISE
40 x 32
Price on request. Available in Puerto Vallarta


This is what I sat with for a few days...really trying hard not to tell everything..a challenge for me

FARMERS MARKET


Here are 2 pieces depicting  the food journey from the  gardens of Sonoma to the Farmers Market on the Ferry pier in San Francisco. To top off this beauty, I met with fellow blogger Nancy Hartley and her husband Brian to eat the most delicious vegetables and seafood at the wonderful restaurant, the Slanted Door. We had a wonderful time and it was a real treat to connect with new friends.

SAN FRAN

Spending some time in the San Francisco area. Marin county has really beautiful hiking trails. This trail is in Novato. The biggest draw for me though, is little Dr Einstein, practicing in Mill Valley.
