Painting at Miraflores Locks
















I painted here from the center wall at Miraflores Locks and had about an hour before it began to rain again. My security escort watched me the entire time. After I finished one of the canal workers said I was "casi como Sinclair!" Almost like Sinclair. Still trying to figure that one out.
Nice flat no color gray afternoon.

Teresa Arosemena


She was the first person to contact me when I submitted the idea of painting scenes of the Panama Canal Expansion. Bi-lingual and mucho smart. She helps me set up permission to paint on various Panama Canal sites. Es muy helpful.
