Cilei's Dad Silvestre has built a house with a little help from contractors. Nearly finished, it has the rustic look she was hoping for including exposed concrete and a brick feature wall. We were there today picking avocados, squash and limes, and cleaning the house for the first time. I chiselled and sanded off plaster spatters from the brick feature wall inside. In the bottom window you can see the Montreal-inspired brick wall in the painting. The beautiful view was mostly real but I edited out all the buildings.

Here is a painting of the land in front of the house. There are lots of corn plants and large fruit trees. Beans and squash grow on the ground. The moon was also visible in the hazy blue sky.
