| Painting of the Alta Vista Estancia |
Fall is coming to
Argentina and the colors of the poplar trees are starting to change. We spent
several nights at Alta Vista where we were warmly greeted by the hosts, Tamara and Frederico. Alta Vista is a
60,000 hectare sheep ranch or estancia, which in Argentina means large farm or ranch. It was built at the turn of the century and is located
20 miles west of Calafate in the Argentine Patagonia, and on the road to the
Perito Moreno glacier. Our rooms were delightfully
decorated and this comfortable Patagonia estancia was a wonderful place for me
to hang-out one morning painting the scene in front of me.

It sounds like a lovely place to stay and looks peaceful. Nice painting; looks like the estancia. :)
Thanks for all the encouragement Paula!
