NOTES FROM NOSARA

We have settled into our winter home and art studio here in Nosara, on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. Each morning, the sound of the crashing surf and howler monkeys awaken us at sunrise, around 5:30am. By 9am the sun is so hot, we must retreat indoors until things cool off around 3pm. A great excuse to paint! Before long, the sun settles once again into the ocean just before 6pm. These regular natural rhythms are very conducive to the creative process, and we have focused our efforts on each producing a series of 6 new acrylic canvases. In addition, Anna is working on a series of watercolors. Above left is one of Ken’s new paintings “Tierra Madre” (24 x 24”, acrylic on canvas) which is currently being exhibited at the Nativa Gallery (506-682-0882) in Nosara. Anna also has four acrylic paintings being exhibited at Nativa. The gallery is located in the main commercial area of Playa Guiones, approximately 200 meters west of Café de Paris.
