Visiting, Page, in Puerto Vallarta

 
Just back from visiting the very talented, artist, and blogger, Page Railsback, in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Page is lucky enough to be a part time resident, in the middle of this beautiful city.  She paints, and teaches, right here, during the winter months. Please see Page's fabulous paintings, on her blog, and website.




Brian, enjoying our time in beautiful, Puerto Vallarta. 


Thrilled to be in the warm weather, seeing the sunny skies, blue water,  pretty white buildings, and
 romantic sunsets.

An Object of Beauty

 
I just finished reading, An Object of Beauty, by Steve Martin. I love reading, especially about art related subjects.  The fun, and interesting story, is based on fictitious events in the NYC art world.
