Here’s a watercolour I found in my art files today. I painted this in January of 1996 when we lived in Scottsdale, Arizona. This cool restaurant “El Encanto Cantina”, was a favourite breakfast spot in nearby Cave Creek.

Thank you so much. I’m not selling right now as I’m working toward having a gallery show. Maybe some prints in the future. 🙂

Fantastic and best of luck with the gallery!! If you do happen to make prints I would love a copy of this, El Encanto is very near and dear to my heart.

I will. Thanks again for liking. Before I frame any paintings I’m going to shoot hi res photos to make prints. What is your story about El Encanto? I haven’t been back to the area in so long I don’t even know if it’s still there. I did this painting almost 20 years ago.

Ah, this is beautiful! Such a comfortable, ambient image. I’d love to be there right now, drinking a delicious cordial of some type and eating spicy sausage.

Oh yes, this painting takes me back. Through the gate there is a courtyard with a large pond with waterfowl, palm trees, and bistro tables… Mexican breakfast & Margaritas.

Not sure I’ve ever had a Mexican breakfast before!!

Beautiful scene Deb. I love the complexity of the color layering and just enough detail to let the eye and mind fill in the rest.
