Lovely Gabby, of Museo Cancebi/Manta, Ecuador adds her special touch to the group “I CAN DO THIS” painting.
This Man’s Journey’s theme for the week is Summertime Blast. Through a beautifully-narrated photo post, he shares the high points of his family’s summertime memories. Because I live on the equator, the past three months did not represent long days of summer vacation time, but exhibiting in three museums provided a blast of memories…
Monkey see, monkey do, I see a monkey just like YOU! (Museo Bahia de Caraquez)
Each museum offered different experiences, and visitors quickly transformed into new and dear friends.
Many tour groups visited Museo Cancebi in Manta

I want the shoes!!! And the paintings… :). I’ve said it before and I say it again – I love your work! You should have an exhibition in Europe – SOON!
You are so funny! Thank you so much, and I formally nominate you to be in charge of the European exhibit! 😀 Z
That is a big challenge, and I’ll get back to you on that, but not today :).
Congratulations not just for creating a Summertime blast on these three different museums and places, making friends and creating beautiful memories but most of all , sharing your inspiring, vibrant work to the world. The smiles on the children faces are priceless. So true, “exhibiting in three museums provided a blast of memories and much, much more. Thank you my friend.A joyful post well celebrated!
Thank YOU! I first thought, “Hmmm, I don’t have anything that would work… but then the right brain kicks in and says, ‘Sure you do!'” Many people have submitted great posts this week! Z
P.S. Love the happy shoes. I think the world needs this kind of shoes to brighten our world!
The shoes have been such a surprise; they are the shoes that the poor wear here – plain black or plain white (canvas) and in a few weeks the shoes have that tired, worn look. I have not been surprised that the poor are beyond delighted when they realize that I’ve painted and upgraded their shoes to a statement of pride. I was totally surprised to see the delight of the wealthy when they recognized the shoes; I expected the latter to look down at the shoes with disgust, but the opposite reaction continues to unite all classes! Thanks for noticing! 😀 Z
extraordinary work!
Thanks, Linda! I continue to be delightfully surprised that the public reaction to my new painting style. Most people say that the paintings make them happy! Lisa/Z
Happy paintings and happy shoes. I love your work and can’t possibly say anything new that hasn’t already been said. The group projects must be extremely rewarding for all.In our area the commercial fishermen wear white boots and each year local artists decoratively paint a few pairs to auction off for benefits. 🙂
How fun! Please share when that time rolls around again! Or give me notice and I’ll try to get some artists here to paint the rubber boots that are worn on the shrimp farms. (Usually black, bright yellow or white) Z
Lovely Z!
Brilliant! Your art is exceptional and through it you seem to have the most happy and amazing experiences! Coveting those happy shoes 🙂
I am so glad that the shoes give you great smiles! Thanks! Z

That is really a blast! Three exhibitions. Congratulations! Must have been really fun for you, and a lot of work of course. I really love your work – and hope to see more of it in real some time in the future. I am so happy for the small pieces of work I got from you. They sit right on the table in the living room, spreading happiness and bliss.
Thank you so much! Yes, those painting sessions are fun and rewarding. The three exhibitions back to back were stimulating yet exhausting. It feels good to be home sweet home on the river!
