MARKETPLACE IN PUERTO VALLARTA


16X20
OIL ON CANVAS
THIS PAINTING WAS DONE ON THE BEACH AT THE WESTIN HOTEL. THE OBJECT WAS TO CAPTURE THE LIGHT AND SHADOWS COMING FROM THE UMBRELLAS. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME THE CHALLANGE ON THE DIFFERENT STROKES FROM DIFFERENT FOLKS SITE WAS TO PAINT THE LITTLE MAN IN THE CAP WITH EMPHASES ON CORRECT PROPORTIONS. THERE WAS ANOTHER MAN IN THAT SPACE AND I THOUGHT HE LOOKED A BIT CARTOONISH. I WAS DELIGHTED TO FIND THIS MAN INSTEAD; I THINK HE FITS PRETTY GOOD.

    This is such a happy and colorful setting for the man in the challenge - I think I can see a huge smile on his face!

    I love all of your paintings and this is one of my favorites. Someday we all need to take a trip to Mexico or Costa Rica!
