These are four of the landscapes at Creative Framing, only until Oct. 1. The two on the left are of the Fraser River, which is very close to my home/studio.

One of my new "red series" abstracts

 
My work alternates between representational and abstract - people do say they can always recognize my style, however, so there's always a lot of "me" in the paintings.

A current show of my work

 

I have 10 paintings featured (until Oct. 1) at Creative Framing Galley, 3332 Main Street, Vancouver. Here's a picture of Rob Austin, waiting to greet you, show you my work, and give great advice on framing as well. Scroll up to see some of the work - it includes landscapes and some new abstracts as well.

Domitilo's project

Three generations of one family worked on this project - Domitilo, his father, and his son, as well as other compadres from Los Ingenios, the village across the highway. They obviously enjoyed the work, the planning and the completion of a really solid, well-built "pas a mano" - and for me, watching the teamwork is a lesson in how to live in the moment, having fun and taking pride in one's work.

New pas a mano

The last improvement that was done on my house in Mexico was a guard rail for the teraza - it is an adaptation of an old style of building (antigua, as the Mexicans say) It has given the house more privacy and usable space...

Back to blogging - and a photo of the local hunter-gatherers

After a break from blogging, because of computer and camera problems, I'm back! This picture (above) is of two of my neighbors in La Manzanilla shooting an iguana. If they get him, he will be part of their dinner!
