ABOUT US

We are next-door neighbors and dear friends and have been painting capillas in the campo around San Miguel de Allende for the last five years and have just recently (March, 2019)  started to paint the lovely gardens of San Miguel de Allende. We find the process of plein air painting fun, meditative and a socially acceptable addiction.

If it’s a Friday, and we are both in San Miguel, I can assure you that we are painting. Both of us can complete watercolor sketches quickly, so two or two-and-a-half hours on site are usually all we need. The paintings featured on this blog are these plein air watercolor sketches. Sometimes, when the architecture or lighting proves difficult, one of us might repaint a scene from photographs.
