Here are some more photos. I hope to have an open house or something when all is moved in--the house was built and owned for many years by a well-beloved local family and everywhere I go people tell me how they enjoyed visiting there. Let us pray that nobody faints when they see it redecorated.
So you courageously step into the corridor from the entry hall. On your left, just above the thermostat, is this huge hibiscus. You have choices here--you can decide to leave, but after all you've survived the entry hall with the skeleton, so why not take your chances? It's a narrow hallway. On your right are globe agaves in bloom, a flame tree, and a big central agave. Did I mention that it's a really narrow hallway? With poor lighting as well. So it's very hard to get a decent photo of these big painted plants. There are prickly pear cactus, wisteria vines, more hibiscus, lots more agaves. I'm working on the master closet doors right now, painting El Danzante, the Olmec deity with the big headdress. I haven't photographed him yet, but next week I plan to finish him and take pictures. Here are some more photos. I hope to have an open house or something when all is moved in--the house was built and owned for many years by a well-beloved local family and everywhere I go people tell me how they enjoyed visiting there. Let us pray that nobody faints when they see it redecorated. I'm having the best time with this! The shower is almost finished--elegant with glass block, black and white tile, and some talavera painted tiles for accent. Not yet ready for prime time, but coming along nicely. Moving date early in January.

And while your hallway is blooming, my kitchen and back area are turning deep, deep saturated yellow--sort of school bus or rain slicker yellow. The painters think I'm a little nuts, but they are very polite about it. Nothing subtle here--the Oaxaca experience rules. I love it.
