The path leading to the beach- from our trip to Mexico

This is the path right beside us. We walk down the path everyday. It is therefore fitting that I finish my last piece of canvas painting this view of the path through the dense tropical growth with glimpses of oceans ahead. The sun was setting down so quickly and so was our stay coming to an end.

The intoxcicating light and color of the ocean- from our trip to Mexico

The intense light and color of the Caribbean sea will forever seared into my memory from this trip. Seven days are too short to get myself acquainted to the place yet. However, it is time already for us to say goodbye to this beautiful Mexican coast .

Crushing waves from the sea- from our trip to Mexico

The crushing sound of the waves and the turquioise color of the sea casted such a spell on me that I walked across the small path and found myself amid the parlm trees and did another quick oil painting for the day even though I felt totally exhasted and got a bad sunburn.

A glimpse of Caribbean Sea from our trip to Mexico

As if God want to create a dramatic climatic moment in our life by pre-shapening our senses to get us ready for what we will visually experience for the first time in our life, just before we set off to Mexico, a snow storm hit Manitoba with a mixture of snow and rain. On March 25, braving a storm of snow and rain we dragged our luggage through a sludge of snow to Winnipeg international airport to start our ever first trip to Mexico. In just a matter of few hours , lo, behold we found ourselves walking along the warm sandy beach of Caribbean Sea near Tulum on the south of the Yucatan Peninsula with a huge expanse of azure sky and turquoise ocean. We stayed for 7 days at an all inclusive resort called Grand Sirenis Mayan Beach only half an hour drive away from Tulum. This is my first painting done on the beach against very strom wind from the occean towards late afternoon where the sun sets always so quickly in the tropical land.
