"Shrimper at Sunset"

The sun sets on a shrimp boat as its crew waits for nightfall to head out into the Gulf and try its luck.

Many thanks to Scilit for the amazing original photo!

"Mexican Village Flowerpot" (SOLD)

Real de Catorce is a village (some would say a "ghost town") of fewer than 1,000 residents that sits at 9,000 feet on the side of a mountain in the Sierra de Catorce range in Mexico. Once a thriving silver mining settlement, it was nearly abandoned in the early 1900s. Today tourism is reviving the town.

This is a painting I started a LONG time ago but returned to this week.

Many thanks to Alex M. for the photographic inspiration!
