Island vibes, acrylic on paper, by Louise Primeau.
Holiday on the beach - Island vibes - acrylics on watercolour paper.

Family Vacation in Mexico.

I painted this beach scene last year as we prepared to spend a week in the Dominican Republic with our family. This week, our destination is, once again, the Mayan Riviera. It is becoming more difficult to coordinate our schedules as many in the group are still working or in school. But we managed to find a slot that suited everyone.

Each year, we add new memories to our memory bank - something I want to leave for my children and grandchildren. These memories include:

  • first plane rides for young ones
  • first holidays south and escape from the cold and the snow ( again for young ones)
  • bubble parties in the pool
  • mariachi bands at night and pool side parties
  • photographers by the pool and kids thinking they were models (we had a laugh at that one)
  • dancing on stage to live music
  • snorkeling
  • singing Christmas songs together, one song last year becoming a brain worm (Bons Baisers de Fort de France by La Compagnie Créole)
  • playing society games as a family
  • new year countdown with fireworks
  • and everyone feeling thankful for these precious moments together!
