The time seems to be zipping by! I’ve been working on six small paintings. A couple are done. Some I keep tinkering with and just need to let go of. The air is so warm here (about 85 degrees) that the acrylics dry instanteously, and I’m wishing I had brought retarder with me. There is no place here to get any art supplies, so I’ll make do with what I have and stop when I run out! I’m enjoying working, but have to work, then jump in the water to cool down, then work more.
Here I am working in a new spot, more sheltered than before. It’s been so windy here, with gusts that threaten to carry everything away!
And here’s a more or less finished one.
I’ve also been having fun working in my Nature Journal. I’ve been trying to do an entry every day. The shells on the beach are scarce, so I’ve been working on identifying a new fish species everyday (Corey, you’d love it here!).
Here is a picture of the market in the tiny village of Fare, where I am. 
And here are the school kids, some of the 600 on the island, at a rehearsal for an upcoming concert. They were beautiful, like a tropical bouquet, singing in French, Tahitian and English, soft lilting songs that sounded like the sea.
Take care, everyone and don’t forget to keep your Nature Journals up!
Susan
I would love to be there!
