Portoviejo/Manabi/Ecuador —- Mfriend Barbara arrived two weeks ago to help prepare for tomorrow night’s inaguration of “Lisa Brunetti – A Journey.”

Museo Portoviejo’s Carlos Wellington proofs the official invitation while dear Barbara surely ponders, “What was I thinking when I offered to come help?”!!!!!
With the truck loaded with paintings, we stopped to sending this post from a cyber. The next stop – in 45 minutes – is the Portoviejo Museum.
Here’s a peek of last week’s delivery, when we I looked up and said, “Oh. No,” – yet I smiled. We were very tired and a bit ragged!
Television channel 30/Portoviejo (?) arrived for a behind-the scenes chat! We had been working for days on the floor, brushed three coats of floor finish on it, then loaded the floor and paintings in the truck… We were not anticipating a photo session, but were honored to be featured on the local news!!
There are many ‘surprises in the show! The floor is just one of them!

Barbara painted two ‘New Year’s Effigies’ which is a story of its own!
Here’s the official invitation:
More soon!
