Welcome to a retro claimed posting of the original "Art in the Guay" blog. Initially created in 2013 under an old work email when I first began living and creating in the enchanting country of Paraguay. Fortunately all of my documentation of the projects was not lost and are the original chronology of the postings are noted.
I will open with the first post back in February of 2014:

Tranquilo Pa + Artista= Artista Contenta
In opening my very first blog, I share my hopes for documenting the continued projects, both personal and service oriented throughout my stay in this lesser known South American land, I affectionately call the 'Guay. I will begin by posting a few of my pod paintings. Last November I began collecting jacaranda seed pods, then painting on them and eventually selling them to raise money for projects in the neighborhood of San Geronimo.

Vamos hacer un mural! Que dicen?! My opening line with about 15 to 20 youths from San Geronimo. A quick background info: this neighborhood is comprised of about 120 families who have been working hard to keep it clean and it's artistic, colorful style present. More photos are in my Facebook albums. I instantly became enchanted with the neighborhood and got an idea in my head that I need to be helping out. The photos here represent today's work on our latest project. I will take the drawings of the children and creat a collective collage/ design for the mural. Este bien?
Children respond to my prompts with designs of new football areas, pools, etc....
