While in college Elaine spent a semester in Costa Rica. She stayed with a host family. “El Agua Dulce,” Sweet Water, depicts Elaine with her Costa Rican “brother” and his cousins cooling off in a local river. Elaine is the figure on the far right.

Elaine spent three years with her family in Saudi Arabia on a job assignment. They lived in the Eastern Province. As an artist, Elaine endeavored to capture outdoor scenes from photos she had taken. The pics allowed her to freeze the light and action to capture the scene’s essence on canvas. Saudi Arabia is a hot, arid place; it’s also humid in the summer and sand and dust fly around. These conditions made painting outdoors very difficult.
