Just returned from an extended holiday in Chacala, Mexico where I had a wonderful time in the sunshine and warmth. We met and made many new friends. I was able to finish three acrylic paintings, that you can find as new posts, and I even had fun using pallete knives for the rooster and experimenting with Mexican paints! I also had the opportunity to work and learn from an extraordinary Mexican painter/printmaker, Miguel Perez (Grafica Chacala). Two weeks spent in his workshop have fuelled my creativity and also my desire to explore the possibilities in the printmaking process. I know that I have made a new friend and mentor. Thank you Miguel. (mucho gracias)

I also appreciated working beside a metal sculptor named James Rintelman from beautiful, midwest Wisconsin. (Who happens to be married to an incredible cook/pie maker! Thanks Linda for looking after my waistline while on holidays.

Jim and I had a lot of fun pushing each other's creativity and sense of humour. Looking forward to next year's unlimited editions....

Back to the Great White North with the batteries recharged.....
