Last plein air of the season

We were invited to Norva's beautiful home (Thank you!!) for what is my last Mexico group plein air. It has been a wonderful season with many new art friends coming and leaving. My oil painting supplies are packed and there would not be enough time for an oil painting to dry so I went with my small sketchbook of  Mexico memories to add a couple more.

The view of the lagoon with it's moving water hyacinth was mesmerizing. It almost completed moved to give a clear view of the water with little islands floating by. I had time to do a quick sketch of the new view from where I was sitting. The first photo below was of the lagoon when we arrived, the second was about half way through our time and my sketch and photo are of the view as we were leaving. I was sitting low on the opposite side of the beautiful pool when it was almost cleared, simply amazing! Our groups works in progress is on the bottom right.
