About La Coccinella

Before we had the kiddos, my husband and I used to go to Mexico quite often. As in at least once a year. Our favorite destination was Playa del Carmen, and we frequently rented a condo in La Coccinella, in the Italian section of PDC. I began this painting in 2006, in Mexico, while lounging outside the condo, probably sipping something delicious.
