Back from Christmas at Pender Island with my parents.The weather was wonderful- I took the photo of Mom and Suz on the beach on Christmas day. The beach is about a 3 minute walk from the house and is one of my favorite places- I have painted it many times. Later Suz and I wore our matching jammies for dinner.

Alan and I are getting ready to go to San Miguel de Allende in a couple of days. The challenge is figuring how to carry all our stuff on the plane. Alan has cut small panels out of door skins for us to paint on. I spent today gessoing them. They are very light and thin, so good for travellers. I haven't painted on them before- will let you know how it goes.
