I paint very seldom still lifes, but an English friend invited me to his allotment last weekend and I was so inspired... yes, I did have a wonderful time :)

Olvidaba lo más importante, qué belleza tu girasol, me recuerda al cuento de Andersen "Las flores de Ida"

Mexico was so violent that we decided to migrate for the sake of our family.  I have been very lucky to be able to travel a lot during my lifetime. When I was a kid, I was two months in China.
