These photos were the product of a day of exploration that found Ornberg and her husband in San Jose del Cabo. A loud speaker and an elephant loosely shackled to an old car signaled that a circus was in town. The resulting photos were enhanced through a process of cropping, moving, erasing, choosing painterly surfaces, and enhancing the colors. Ornberg has participated in numerous watercolor exhibitions and won many awards, including first place in the National Watercolor Society Signature Members Show.
