Painting in Maruata


There is nothing that compares to the feeling of creating a drawing or painting.
A fleeting moment becomes permanently saved the way the artist perceived it, capturing the light, the mood of the scene as well as the reaction of the artist to the subject matter.
I painted this picture standing in the hot sun of the Mexcian Pacific coast at one of Michoacan´s most beautiful beaches, Maruata, and I was looking inland towards the small lagoon. While painting, I listened to the water that comes in regular intervals through the nearby blow hole and my feet were periodically cooled by it.

you're amazing on so many levels but certainly regarding the fact that you can so quickly and seemingly easily crank out one beautiful painting per day after another!! Beautiful work! Your composition sensibility is wonderful =)
