Artist in Residence, BRAZIL!

I am getting ready to be an Artist in Residence on a tropical island off the coast of Sao Paulo, Brazil! The island is called Ilhabela, also known as St. Sebastian Island. Here is the link if you want to see more: https://www.casanailha.org/the-island/   I will be staying in a lovely beach house, mid April to mid May, with 4 artist friends (a.k.a. A Bellas), Denise, Terry, Sherry, Lynn and another artist, whom we have yet to meet, named Jane. No Ron this time! I will miss him. If anyone lives near him, could you feed him once in awhile? Thanks.

My art supplies are packed. (first things first) I plan on creating small things so I was able to get plenty of supplies in a bag that doubles as my plein air stool and backpack.  I have officially stopped the search for the perfect one because this is it, a backpack, cooler stool by Samsonite. There are other brands that are pretty much the same if you can't find the hard to find Samsonite brand. Here's one. I did not photograph my supplies before I packed. I wish I had because I don't want to unpack them now. More than that, I don't want to second guess what I packed and redo it! Lots of thought went into it. I need to just move on and work with whatever I packed. I'll show you my supplies when I get there, how's that?

I have 30 days on the island to focus and draw and paint. In JUNE, I will exhibit all that I have accomplished in an exhibit at the Workhouse Arts Center in Gallery 5. It is Tiny Tropical Treasures, June 6 - July 7 with a Reception on June 9, 6:00-9:00 pm. But more about that and other things later....

Cap Frehel beauty!

We took a ride on this sunny cold day to the northern coast to see this beautiful sight! 

 

The tide on the way to the Cap....

 

And the tide on the way home!

 

Now back to the drawing board and the wonky buildings!
