Friday was a really fun day. It started out bad - couldn't get my debit card to work - had to call the credit union and release the lock - too many attempts (forgot the damned pin #). After that the day began to improve. Went to the Fabrica de Aurora to visit and meet Victoria, an encaustic artist. The place was getting ready for the monthly Art Walk. It is an old fabric mill that has been adapted to a art and design center. A quick trip around made me sure that I would return in a few hours for the Art Walk. Hurried back to the apartment to do some artwork and change clothes in time to rush back to the Art Walk - what a great time I had. Met lots of really good artists that I will get to know. There were several other encaustic artists, a really good traditional artist ( he also plays an awesome blues harmonica), a number of other good realists, but most were abstract contemporary artists.
After the Art Walk we went to the Buganbilla restaurant for dinner and a good margarita, and to listen to Jack & Francis play some awsome classical guitar. They work so well together, so I bought their CD.
After that we headed over to La Malinche to listen and dance to salsa before the Monroy Blues started up at 10:00 PM - this group is great. They are all one family (brothers, cousins, aunts, etc.). An old bull fighter quit the ring and got into music, so now, at 82 years, he is a leader of this fantastic group. Will get thier CD, as well.
I do believe that I had one too many of Joe's margaritas - but it was sure fun. Wish all of you could have been with all of us in the crowd there that night - it was rockin"!!!
Another painting finished today- a watercolor of pangas in dry dock.
