Thornwood Gallery's Fall Show is always special with new works from all of the Gallery's Artists showing their latest creations. This large painting, "Orange Light" has been through many versions as I have worked on it all year long. Finally I am finished! "How do you know when you are finished?" you ask. When you can't think of another thing to do to make it better, is the only answer I have. My vision for this painting is that it hang over someones fireplace mantle. Please come Saturday October 21 from 5-7 at Thornwood Gallery, 2643 Colquitt Street at the Upper Kirby location. As usual, the opening will be glamorous.

One of the many reasons I love to take people on painting trips to San Miguel is, It's So EASY! There's a non-stop, 90 minute flight from Houston to Queretaro, Mexico and then you are picked up at the airport and whisked to your lovely house in another hour. The town is contained so you don't need a car and taxis are cheap and plentiful if you don't feel like walking. The people are wonderful, the restaurants first-rate, and the scenery breathtaking and No Jet Lag. What's not to like? After spending a few days painting around our house, we all decided to venture out to the "Jardin" just 2 blocks away. We painted there all morning and then decided to go to a restaurant for Comida, (dinner) which is the main meal of the day. This meal usually starts around 2:00 and often, with drinks and such, lasts until 4:00, so naturally a nap is in order. After that we usually gather around the swimming pool for more drinks or paint, or go shopping. If we are not going to a party or Art Opening we can always have the soup and salad or enchiladas the cooks have left on the stove and watch the sunset. On Saturday night and Sunday we go out for supper because the cooks are off. This is not a hardship! What is difficult is to come back to your Life...sigh
