Earth Again!


I have been quite absent from my blog this week but I just got back from a trip to McAllen, Texas. My husband bought me a very, far in advance, birthday present but we probably won't get up there again before the end of the year. He bought me a Nikon D50 Digital Camera. The shutter speed is so much faster than the Canon Power-Shot I have. Hope this will improve the quality of the pictures I take of my paintings. I haven't been able to do much painting either since my two grandsons are visiting from Sonora. Although, I did get a quick experimental painting in this afternoon and hope to get some larger one's done this week.

Fabulous to get a new camera, I know you'll be busy with it.

Your paintings are so lovely, the colours always appeal to me.

WOWOWOWOWOWO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mariana I love this one and the texture is great.

What a wonderful nice birthday present. Early, but I am sure well needed and deserved. Hubby did a fabulous thing. He gets very very many brownie points for this one. :) Is this photo taken with your new digital?

Congratulations! for your new camera! Now you have to use it lots more than the other one. It's a good present, for your birthday! I like very much the photograph of Mango on his chair in your desk?

Thank you Jeanette, Paula and Leonor. Yes, I took this one with the new digital but I have to read the instruction booklet to use it right.

I should have scrolled down before I commented above...you are really painting some wonderful works. I love the textures and the richness of the paintings.

How fun to have a new toy! Happy very early birthday then!
