I spent a lot of time in Mexico City at Howard Hughes' Hotel, El Camino Real. This was one of the fave spots of mine in a hotel that is more of a small city. People from around the world pass through there with families, needing some serious downtime, both fun and glamourous. During a certain time of the day, it is Pure Paradise.

Girl, sun, sky, water...........love; who could ask for anything more!?!

Painting in Photoshop is digital paradise.

When I first saw this, I thought it looked like oils. You've gotten some very nice textures going in this.

Fantastic, Susaye!! I love the colors in this painting. Also, I really like how you used that rough texture thoughout the painting except on the woman...who remains soft. Wonderful, wonderful combination of texture, color, and imagery. :clap: :+fav: :D
