Painting around and in San Miguel this week.

From San Luis Rey a Saturday market scene. The light really struck me when I first spotted this scene. The goal was to keep it simplified with the big shadow shapes and basic colors before adding the complicated details of the clothing and sale items. I've been very busy this week with new students and friends from last winter returning . Classes are full , but ebb and flow as visitors and students to San Miguel end their stay while new folks are just arriving.

In my oils and acrylics class this week we worked on this colorful storefront ,a stationery store 'El Iris" meaning " the  Rainbow'  Indeed a  rainbow of color with those lilac pink awnings and yellow walls. Donna
