After a wonderful afternoon in the Museo Larco, in Lima, Peru, while  we were waiting for our driver. I thought that I would have time for just a quick sketch in acrylics  I almost finishing the painting, and was really surprised to see our Uber driver had been watching me paint!   The light on the water in the fountain, and dancing in the flowers, with the music drifting from the museum’s Cafe made the afternoon…          Just Magic ! 

Artist's Statement:

In today’s stressful world it’s important to protect aspects of safety and calmness. I capture the unexpected and uncommon beauty in the common areas that we pass by. I also enjoy traveling to new places and painting there in plein air, finding similar joy around the world.
