So I was going to do an outdoor workshop in Mexico City, one of the world's biggest cities.  I have to confess, though, prior to my arrival, I had no idea at all what I could find to paint there.  But I was more excited than worried and I was pleasantly suprised to discover serene beauty inside this megalopolis.

Following my demos, my workshop attendees painted varied sights - beautiful lakes, a panoramic view from the hilltop castle, and a street vendor in a park, etc.  The focus throughout the week, however, was on how to paint water and everyone worked very hard trying to nail those elusive reflections.  It was a real pleasure to get to know these artists who came not only from Mexico City but also from other towns.  I would like to thank everyone who helped make my visit to Mexico City such a wonderful experience!
