I spied this gentleman on the beach in Playa del Carmen last spring - a pretty good working chair for this month's theme, I think. These blue lounge chairs hold a special place in my heart as they are very common in Mexican resort towns and so they signal "vacation". I've painted them before - click here. Over the years, this is where we play games, read books, visit, nap, slather the kids in sunscreen. And, apparently, where this guy writes memos.

Meet Walt. At the Port Aransas pier walking distance from our house, Walt was the first to wet a hook in the mornings and the last to leave. In a long line of fishing poles, he was about the only angler consistently catching. Lots of experience. So, no surprise, our 13-yr-old Lavagirl made fast friends with crusty 'ole Walt - that's where the action was. And from there on out, everytime he got a nibble, he'd yell out her name and she'd go running and Walt would let her reel that fish in. It was a great show for Mr. Right and me to watch in the mornings with our coffee or late in the evenings after dinner.

I loved watching this little family. I could almost hear them waking their mother and begging to play on the beach before breakfast.

A charming colleague of mine who herded classes of 5- and 6-year-olds. Kindergarteners are much more challenging than cattle, as any parent or teacher would agree. It takes a pretty tough cowgirl to run roughshod on that bunch. Thanks to my new colleagues for including me in the Some Texas Artists Like to Paint group!
