Nani at artist residence: Day 1

It's been years since I started this project. 

And though I am very eager to finish it, it's been difficult concentrating on it with so many other things going on. 

So, as a gift to myself, and in hope of advancing on the book, I decided to come to La Cala de Chodes for an artist residence.

And I brought Nani with me! 

Well...not physically. But I have brought her recipes, her spices, her mantras and candles. I got here yesterday afternoon and got settled in to my new workspace: the beautiful library.
I started working on the cover of the book to help me find my bearings.
