Ice Tea with Limon

   

This is an acrylic painting.  The first of a series I plan to do of beverages 

The glass is characteristic of the hand blown glasses made here in

Mexico.  The Limon is a small wonderful lime that we use in almost

everything from cerviche to tacos to cold drinks.  It is a part of daily

life and the fridge is never without them.  The beverage series is

so that I can try and stay cool as it is over 40 C or 100 F every day.

Summer is hard here...as we await rain...if it comes?!?  The last

rain that we have had was last November ..that is November 2012.

YES, A VERY LONG TIME TO,GO WITHOUT RAIN.  

Mosaic Glass Gazing Ball

0) 

A little different for me.  But, my favorite form is the sphere.  This is made 

from a recycled bowling ball, a broken glass tempered windshield and acrylic 

paints.  There are not many bowling balls in La Paz.  We only have one 

bowling alley and it is only a year old.  This ball was found in a Secunda 

(a second hand market).  From there it was sanded, painted, glued, grouted 

and sealed.  The stand is also from the Secunda.  It was time consuming but 

great fun.  I have already began another one...stay tuned!
