San Miguel de Allende, Mexico




I recently went on a trip to San Miguel de Allende with a group of 15 artists.  Frank Gardner put the whole trip together for us, including finding us a great place to stay, Casa Heyne.  The villa was great, approx 16,ooo sq ft., with a cooking and cleaning staff.  We were very spoiled.  Paintings from this trip will be in two exhibitions in February.  The first is on February 12th at the Cape Cod Museum of Art, in Dennis, MA.  The second show is at Addison Art Gallery on February 13th, in Orleans, MA.  The following pictures are in no particular order, all of the artists in the photos should have links to the right of the page, if not write me and ask for their websites.

cool pixs, Logan. Isn't Scott Burdick the one second to the last guy in photo 2 (night on the town)? Scott's great. I went to a couple of his workshops in N.C. and he is one of the best teachers. He never holds back on sharing. Didn't you attend one of his workshop too? I thought I read that somewhere. Love your work and thanks for sharing your pix and happy holidays!
