Water Taxi Near the Shore
10” x 14”
Oil on Canvas

Morning sunlight illuminates the water taxi and the fishing boats on the nearby shore of Playa Principal in Zihuatanejo.  I was interested in the abstract shapes in the background and the strong Z-shaped composition formed by the two white boats pointing toward the shoreline.

Laguna de Potosi
9” x 12”
Oil on Canvas

Salt water fish drift with the current into the shallow lagoon of Barra de Potosi.   This young Mexican woman catches the fresh fish which are served at her family’s restaurant on the beach.  This scene was painted midday beneath the palm thatched roof of that restaurant. The young woman with her orange bucket and fishing net were added in my studio from the reference material I collected that day.
