Mexico Madness
It's madness I tell you! I have a "thing" about using animals in photos like this, as I doubt that toucan really liked hanging out on the beach all day with strangers having his photo taken. However, I think the margaritas went to my head and I not only posed for this photo with my dear husband but also bought the picture! On top of that I was talked into having my picture taken with a donkey named "Poncho" too. Between everyone being so polite and cheerful and the tequila, I think I could have been talked into buying a heating system in Mexico.
In any case, Joel and I finally had our honeymoon and we enjoyed every minute. We won't discuss the food poisoning on the way home but the actual trip was fabulous. Joel mentioned over and over how beautiful our world is and how much we take for granted. The crystal clear water and the beautiful sites make you realize that these things are so precious. Someday I may go back and I'd like to make some small paintings when I'm there. This trip was purely for romance.
Speaking of painting, I am going to Gallery 50 tonight to see what award I won. They used my work for their announcement card, both paintings I entered already sold and now I am getting some sort of prize as well. Talk about getting the most bang for my buck out of that entry! I was excited to learn that Alex Alampi will be winning an award for the beautiful marsh landscape that he entered too. The artists of Harrisonville Lake Road are doing great.
I will post the results of the exhibition soon and the start of my next two commission pieces. Both are graphite dog portraits that I'm very excited to start. Come back to Soulful Studios to find out what happened.
