August update

A neighbor lady passing by my scene

This summer has just been so busy. Many students new and returnees. Our move to a new place in San Miguel has certainly taken up a huge chunk of our time. Just our casa not the gallery.
Monday we painted plein air up on our new hill, painting our neighbors colorful houses and met some of our neighbors. Very nice folks.

And here's the completed painting "Looking up Cuesta de Loreto" 9 x 12" oil
