I learned something new today. I learned that David our neighbor is an artist. Today I went to his house looking for his lovely wife Helena and what I found was David working on the second painting below.
This first painting hangs in a prominent spot in the David’s family dining room.
This next one is an unfinished work.
I do not know much about art but I do know what I like and I like both of these paintings. Anyone need any original artwork for their home?

David also has a book full of boat painting designs. He showed it to me when they were painting a new boat over by Bethany’s house. He really has talent. Thanks for sharing.
Helena said that he has several other paintings in Portoviejo but I did not understand where those paintings were…I love the still-life but actually prefer the other, for some reason it pulls on me, does that make sense???
Sure – it kind of looks like a vortex. It will be good to see it when it is completed.
By the way – there is another gifted artist in town named Francisco. He is a laborer and lives in a small room down on main street. The places one leasts expects to see artist, pop up with really talented people working with pencils and painting on cardboard.
great to find out others are artists too
