Saturday in San Miguel de Allende


While the north east part of the United States is being challenged by severe winter storms today, I especially appreciate living in San Miguel, not only for the beautiful weather, but the sense of community and the many activities available.


Breakfast at the Saturday organic market. The best in town, fresh, organic Mexican specialties.

I bought 3 kinds of cheeses after quizzing Pedro about the treatment of the cows, goats and sheep.He carefully explained how happy and free they are.

Then on to the artisan market. Because of the Writers' Conference, there are crowds of people in town.

Paper mache animals. They are very popular here.

A friend attending the Mariposa booth. Products are made by local women and the sales help them better their lives.

An adorable face





Hand beaded necklaces
Too many choices


Then on to the park to experience the beauty of the hundreds of flowers and plants. Every year, venders come from all over Mexico to display and sell. February is Spring and planting time.

 
Not only humans play in the park

I am
 packing these paintings today to ship to the Encasutic Art Institute in New Mexico.
When I was in Oregon in June, I showed one of my daughters images of this series and she said that they didn't look as if I did them. I do get into a "zone" when I am working on a series and when it is over, it is over. Now I am working on another figurative piece. It is different from anything I have done before.
