This is yet another painting done last week in Belize. I used to spend any spare time on vacations reading. In Belize I read and painted! There were never endless painting opportunities and gorgeous locations all around! What a beautiful country!



This is one of many spectacular beaches, (not the one I painted above). I loved painting the palm trees. They were constantly moving...continuous breezes blew in from the water. And, we don't have palm trees in Colorado!

Maybe someone can help me. I tried to load a Paypal buy now button. But, when you pushed "buy now" an error report came up. So, I called Paypal and they said it was a blogger error. But, now when I'm in "create post" I don't see my pictures, I only see gibberish. It still works to post, and I know where to type, but...I've done something and don't know what. Has anyone else had this situation!?

This is another painting done on the beach of our hotel, Mata Rocks. I'm standing in the same spot of shade, but looking up the beach toward the town. San Pedro is an easy walk down the beach.



One day we went on a fishing and snorkeling excursion. We had to catch our lunch which was prepared on this beach.



Here's our "catch of the day": fresh snapper, fresh lobster, potatoes, all wrapped in foil and baked over a palm frond fire. I especially like the table cloth!

Our third day in Ambergris Caye we had scheduled for a day of reef fishing. But, the morning was so windy and the water so choppy, that boats weren't going out. So, not to be deterred by Mother Nature, while the rest of my family took a morning nap, I painted one of the flowers from the bouquet in our room. Mata Rocks Resort had beautiful bouquets in each room. I have no idea what this flower is called, it has really long stems, but it was so beautiful against the tropical yellow walls. Later in the day, we golf carted around the island, the only cars on Ambergris Caye are the taxis, which are mini-vans.

Our family just got back from 7 days in Belize. Both of our kids graduate from college in 2009 (our daughter this past June, our son in December), so, this was our graduation gift to all of us. It was a really fun week! We stayed in the town of San Pedro, on Ambergris Caye, an island off the coast of mainland Belize, at the Mata Rocks Resort. This is the Mata Rocks beach. This was the first time I'd taken my paints, etc overseas, but it won't be the last!

This is the beach from our balcony deck. I painted the above painting under the far palapa. I was set-up in that circle of shade. The bar area to the right is where we had breakfast every morning, and drinks were available all day.

This is more or less the view I painted. I left out the kids and dock. This is the life! Painting on a beach!
