| Tom painting in a sleepy little place called Neutla. |
It's been awhile since I've written. We've been putting together a couple of upcoming workshops. The first one in
February 2012 here in
San Miguel . And the 2nd one in the
Burgundy area of
France June 2012.
The information about both of these are on my website. If you wish to see more information about either workshop. go to the workshops link at the top of the home page.

| This is an interesting pale pastel pink Church, perhaps a bit lumpy, but fun to paint .It's in a place just outside of Comonfort. The cloud shadows showed up the mountain slopes well. |
 |
| The cows moved in as we started painting the pink church.Later on a woman from one of the nearest homes came out to us with freshly roasted corn on the cob to feed us! Wow! |

| The field workers deciding if Tom got it right! |
It's been a lot of fun finding some new places to paint in and around San Miguel. From the use of magical Google Earth, Tom has become expert at finding interesting roads with potentially good painting locals .The weather has been perfect for plein air painting. Sunny days with just enough clouds to make nice shadows on the hillsides.The people are really not used to having painters show up painting their corn fields and little towns. It's really quiet too! The country folk have been inviting us to share food and full scale corn picnics.The locals are saying the corn has not grown as well this year due to scant rainfall, but it's been great eating all the same. They have so little but are so happy and hospitable.One fellow in Nuetla came to talk to us for awhile then went home and talked to his mom about us. He returned with an invitation from his mother to bring us home for comida! They are unbelievably kind. Everywhere we've been painting we're finding new friends.
I'll post some finished plein airs soon. saludos Donna
