Last Monday sketching plein air of the season

Sadly another season has ended with a wonderful group of varied artist. It is such a perfect set up, figuring out each week where to meet in town for the next week. Sometimes it was somewhere very public like the main square, other times we were invited to private homes or places where people were renting with others (with permission of course). The artists come and go depending on their time away and the skill level was from new beginners to experienced travel diaries, all are welcome. A drink or meal in a close restaurant usually followed for those available and good food, artist speak and laughter ensued, what fun!

My sketchbook is an accumulation of my experiences while in Mexico as well as a trip back to Canada. I draw, paint, glue in objects/labels etc., all memories that flood back when looking at this sketchbook. It is for me and who I choose to share it with, not public consumption.

We were invited to Josephina's apartment complex with Tracy staying there. Happily Josephina joined in as we spread out on the different levels of patios and palapas. When the first person has to leave, we do a "Slap Down" (sound of books hitting the tiles) and take a photo of the "works in progress". Artist speak, laughter, coffee and food after were enjoyed at Taza Negra. .My view from the mid palapa area down the street and my sketch of Azteca Bungalows
