Photo updates

It is time for a couple of updated photos.

The artist finally completed The Three Kings

to accompany a nativity scene on the beach.

One is holding an Angry Bird, the second has an empty wine bottle

and the third has an ipad! Not sure what this means?

The powder room on the main floor is finally complete.

The vanity has been silver foiled, taps and basin installed.

John is recovering from some strenuous muscle extension in his shoulders yesterday at the gym. As a result we are in slow mode today but did manage to push ourselves out the door and down the hill for a walk into town. 

It is interesting to note the contrast between morning walkers and afternoon walkers on the malecon. In the morning everyone is intent on exercise and is dressed "normally". The afternoon walkers stroll along in various degrees of "undress" and/or sobriety. What are these people thinking? They would never walk around like that at home...or would they? Aren't bathing suits meant for the beach? And aren't they supposed to cover at least 2% of your body? I don't need to see the entire length of your tattoo from shoulder to groin!...or ankle to groin!

Meanwhile the locals are dressed for winter with fake-fur lined hoodies, skin tight jeans (they obviously like their women with big butts) and mile high boots. Early in the morning they actually huddle, shivering in the "cold"!

I am working on a new series, dedicating a portion of each day to painting in between the walks and the daily pool floats. So far the results are promising. It is a gradual toning, tanning and creative process for the next three weeks.
