Mexico

mexican church
I've decided to move back to Mexico. This will allow me to continue to paint full-time and help me to focus more attention on just painting and drawing. I don't know if I will be posting to Alla Prima on a regular basis while in Mexico, but I will leave the blog up and running for those of you who like to wade through its images or peruse its link lists. Hasta Luego!

Raymond Logan over at Daily Painter Review was kind enough to post about my work. Check it out when you get a chance.

"If you ask people to remember a painting and a photograph, their description of the photograph is far more accurate than that of the painting. Strangely enough, there is a physical element intertwined with the painting. It shakes loose an emotional element within the viewer."

Oh, say it isn't so! You have such an elegant blog!

I truly hope you continue to post to alla prima after you move to Mexico.

Whatever your choices, best wishes!

I'd love to chuck this internet and ratrace and move to warmer climes.

Take 'em easy amigo!

Thanks for the comments, everyone.

I'm heading for the colonial silver mining town of Guanajuato.

Gman, it's only a matter of time.

We all seem like we're on the road to what we should be doing rather than what we are expected to do by others.

Wish I could afford one of your paintings.

Good Luck on your journey!

Cheers!

I love this painting--the colors and the way you have used the space are so pleasing.
I wish you well in your new adventure, and hope to see more art when you're settled in your new home!
Abrazos!
