Update: This painting has been matted and packaged as a gift from Roger to Cathy and Bill. The exciting news for me is Roger made a gift certificate to me on KIVA.ORG so I can continue to support Entrepreneurs in poorer countries = Win/Win Thank you R

A group of artists gets together to paint every Saturday at a spot chosen the previous week in a group discussion. This week was in the main civic plaza or jardin. The freshly painted town sign, church and native trees caught my eye, hand and pen in my mixed media 5.5" x 8.5" sketchbook. It was so much fun to see all the artists busy sketching, painting and drawing. There were about 16 artists sprinkled around the plaza. Some had left before we remembered to take a "slap down" photo of the works in progress.
