Artists paint a backdrop for Mexican dancers

...a gallon of paint had spilled in the back seat
of my car while trying to pull out the backdrop: a permanent reminder: sky blue!

Finally, we had the backdrop hanging after having had to work on it on the floor for a week (thank you Kenmore Middle school!)
Four days later, and we have finally been getting some work done, and without so much backache (see me in the video doing some excercises for my back?)

Final take: "finished piece" -- the best we can do under the time constraint. It has been a Labor of Love..this backdrop for "Los Quetzales" a beautiful local (Washington DC metropolitan area) Mexican Dance group.

Ironically, my paintings continue to be held "disappeared"- in Mexico. I have accepted an invitation to exhibit in Paris in September.
I am exhibitng in Greece in October.... at the Florence Biennale in 2007-- yet the Mexican government continues to hold my paintings in Toluca, Mexico--and the Mexican Embassy here in Washington DC has declined to help.

But-- Mexico is a beautiful country--love its people (one in particular :)
We hope that the backdrop will add beauty to the beautiful dancers of Los Quetzales!
