A fantastic winter it has been! My apologies to everyone whom I may have lost touch with. This place has been all consuming.

Please check out the murals section of my web site. I have been busy here painting murals with the school kids and there are some great pictures.

La Ventana, Mexico has become my new home and I am so fortunate to have found it!
