There are three things to consider when talking about the fine arts. There is the object itself, say, the painting in the gallery.

Bahia de Caraquez-Ecuador –
This week’s quote came from one of Hugh’s recent posts. I’d like to hear your feedback after reading his post, though Ron Mayhew published a few images that same week that confirm Hugh’s observations.

This finds me writing from Museo Bahia de Caraquez (Ecuador) where I’ve been staying and working on watercolor studies of artifacts this week.   It’s great to work during the public-viewing hours, but it’s blissful when working after hours!  I’m sobered by the staff’s trust in my presence here as I meander between my favorite pieces, settle in and merge psyches with the ancient artifacts!

There are lots of heart-warming stories from my time here at the museum, but it’s time to go to work!  I’ll leave you with a thumbnail sheet of the progress.

(This token post is in honor of Ecuador’s August 10, 1809 historic step for Independence.)  Happy Independence Day, Ecuador!

One morning while I was a guest at Museo Bahia de Caraquez, the tour guide casually mentioned that I might see some people dressed in white shirts and walking down the malecon.  “They will be wearing white,” Carlos said, “to bring  awareness toward peace.”   He added that people were doing the same in Manta and Portoviejo over concerns about rising crime.

What an easy way, I thought, to state an attitude toward peace and tranquility just by the color of one’s wardrobe! Continue reading →

A friend says that he loves my stories, but it's a shame that I'm in an institution in Mississippi and making this all up!
