See Our Paintings - Exposing our Colorful Interiors

We had the wonderful fortune to come to know Humberto Bautista (http://humbertobatista.com/), a Oaxacan painter, over this year. His daughter, Mariana, went to school with our kids and Tyler and his wife, Lis, became close. Humberto opened up his studio to Tyler, Susanna and I to dabble in color and shapes for a few hours each week. He was a low key teacher, mostly working on his own pieces while we painted, but coming around to make gentle suggestions. In my case, I hadn’t picked up a paint brush in 40 years and had to dig out from a mudslide of embarrassment. We came to love the space, the quiet time to try to begin to channel Oaxaca’s incredible culture of art and expression. You can see some of our creations below.
