Hola from Argentina

Hola my patient blog pals, It's been so long since my last post. We've been in Buenos Aires since mid-Oct..ole'

Hubby is working here and between getting settled, learning my way around this huge city (6th largest) and figuring out how to paint in our tiny flat.....aww heck - excuses, excuses. Have done a little painting but not tons.

You can see my make-shift atelier. Using the buffet in the dining room which has a glass top -- makes it esp. easy to work on. I lay out my paint in plastic take-out food trays. A glass of water, a little table easel and ready to go.

This painting is of a little restaurant in the hip barrio of Palermo which is divided into Palermo Soho (art and designers), Palermo Hollywood (movie/tv studios), Palermo Viego (oldest buildings, homes etc). This is one of a zillion places to eat. The cute Vespa is used for food delivery. In BA they even deliver helado (like gelato) to your house! Now THAT needs to be imported to US for sure.

BTW - Will be teaching three sessions of my "GET READY TO PAINT" for beginnings - after the first of the year - will post that info soon. Also have been working on a new class while down here.

To those of you who paint, esp. my new students, please use my email and drop me a note of what you are working on.

To all - Hope you are having a lovely fall. Ciao for now, Mary
