Today I took this photo from about the same spot as the watercolor pic.

Watercolor pic of the bay

 
This is the latest watercolor painting. Maybe it will sell!!

Watercolor paintings by Nancy

 
One of my favorite pastimes is painting with watercolor. Here I practice a lot because it's fun to paint with other people. Three of these paintings have been framed with glass. The only one not framed, sold!

Mary's jewelry for sale

 
Mary has a large collection of beads and findings which she shares on Tuesday mornings at the yacht club. We all look forward to Tuesdays when we make braceltes and earrings.

Mary, Nancy and Donna at the 6th annual show. This threesome exhibited at the first show in 2002. The other "original" is Pat, now living and painting in LaPaz. At the left is one picture from each of us, for sale at the show.

On deck, Sea Tern

 
George, Jordan, Nancy and Herm pose for a photo in Nuevo Vallarta Marina where the sun shines nearly every day! Goerge and Jordan visited for 9 days in early February. We all had a great visit together and kept busy at the beach, in the surf and in town, shopping. We went snorkeling and sailing too. George and Jordan took a surfing lesson and stood up quickly.

Los Arcos Marine Park, PV

 

snorkeling: George, Jordan and Nancy

 
We sailed to Los Arcos near Pto Vallarta on Saturday to see the pretty fish. Unfortunately, the water was somewhat green and surgy but we still had fun looking at the fish.

grandkids visit

 
George and Jordan from Gresham are with us on Sea Tern for 9 days so we are all very busy doing many things, some of which are firsts.

under the palapa

 
If the water is cool, at least the sun is hot so these folks are enjoying the shade of a palapa on the beach.

Watercolor class

 
Here we are, in our outdoor watercolor class. Libby from Saltspring Island BC is our teacher every February while she visits in Bucerias.
