What a month! Here it is in 16 photos:
OUTSIDE MY DOOR--
Picture
First sunset on the hill with avocado tree.
Picture
I know they can be horrifically destructive, but I have a thing for leafcutter ants. Guess which one is the soldier?
Picture
Soft leaf and twig round I made on an early morning wander.
Picture
Hard to beat fresh-squeezed mandarin juice from fruit I picked just minutes before.
AT THE OX CART PARADE--
Picture
Beautiful detail of cart and rider.
Picture
I loved seeing all the children involved in the festivities- passing on traditions to a new generation.
Picture
People-watching is one of my favorite pastimes.
Picture
Seems like as good a time as any to have a chat on the phone.
AT THE LOCAL MARKET--
Picture
Bananas and chayote.
Picture
Love the yucca flowers hanging in the background while these two women catch up on local happenings.
Picture
"Here. Try this!" says Grandma.
Picture
A delicious exchange.
IN THE STUDIO--
Picture
My collection of canvases and paints, one week in.
Picture
Detail, work-in -progress.
Picture
Yes, the intense colors in the tropics always seem to barge right into things...
Picture
I spy with my little eye- you! Time to start packing after a productive residency in the tropics. Back to Wisconsin, tomorrow.
Can't wait until next year!!

Thanks! It is such a perfect place for me to work at the end of a Wisconsin winter, Conalee. I'm so grateful for the opportunity.

Wow, looks like a wonderful trip, and love love the paintings. Nothin' like some sunshine after a long dark Wisco winter.

How are things at La Finca Culebras? Carlos? Robert? Robert's wife? Francisco? Would love an update. Your work is wonderful both the site specific and the indoor pieces.
