It looks like the weather is finally getting better – so we can hope for a nice sunny weekend!

PHOTO: The above photo was taken with my Blackberry (which explains the lack of quality), but is a sneak preview of the new art exhibit opening in Altos de Chavón on Thursday ‘AA’ presented by Artists in Residence, Argenis Lebron and Alexander Lumsden.The above painting is one of Lebron’s, I think it’s incredible, provocative, sexy and so life-like. The inauguration ceremony of this new exhibit will be at 7:30pm on Thursday, but the exhibit itself is open for viewings, everyday, except Tuesdays from 9am-6pm.
