Painting a subject that you have not attempted previously is often not what you expected. This is a dramatic sunset that I photographed in Costa Rica; I expected to spend a long time on it but I found that I did not want to disturb the strokes of paint that I put into the sky so I left it alone. Since the water had been painted first, then all I had remaining to paint was the sailboat and finally the sun.

I would like to try more of these but would like to be outdoors looking at the event as it happens and try to capture it. I guess it doesn't hurt to practice so I'll be ready next time I get a chance to paint the sunset.

Bananas From Costa Rica

I do not actually love bananas the way some folks do, but occasionally I like to have something made from bananas.  Most of all I like banana sandwiches with peanut butter and a little mayo.  (You never know 'til you try it) and also banana cream pie, which I very rarely have.

I do not like the new nickname bestowed on me by my dear husband now that I am a grandmother.  He is fond of calling me "nana banana". I decided just to ignore him and maybe he will get tired of saying it.
