Vertical Challenge

Bellas Artes, San Miguel de Allende

This week I have been seeking out vertical compositions here in San Miguel. Once you start looking for them it seems they are everywhere.

Sketches from Barra de Potosi

A week at a tropical beach can seem like paradise- but can turn your brain to mush. I was thankful to have my sketchbook with me at Barra de Potosi- a tiny town south of Zihuatanejo on the coast of Guerrero, Mexico.

San Miguel's Tuesday Urban Sketchers group

Last Tuesday our sketch group met at Cafe Zenteno in San Miguel to celebrate their new location. Lately we have been getting 20-30 people a week- it was a cozy fit in this lovely courtyard- so we sketched each other sketching.

Women's Solidarity March San Miguel

At least a thousand people gathered at Juarez Park in San Miguel de Allende to participate in the global Women's solidarity March. Pink and red pussy hats and balloons bobbed their way through the park. Although it was not officially an anti Trump rally there were plenty of signs and badges to that effect.
