Dreaming of afar...

What with the weather perking up, my mind has been on my travels again and where to next for inspiration! I spent the bank holiday weekend finishing my latest painting, 'Palm Paradise'.

Just looking at this painting yesterday in my home really brought back those memories of being somewhere so picturesque and away from everything back home. It's not that I'm always trying to escape the life that I have in England but I am so drawn to the colours and the beauty that surrounds us in these faraway places, that I can't help but seek out every opportunity to visit them!! I am so happy with how this painting has turned out - I don't think I could have injected so much sunshine and happiness into it if I'd intended to. I have been inspired by painting it!

So my next trip?..........I don't know but Grenada and the Grenadines in the Caribbean are up there at the moment. Watch this space.........perhaps I might get myself a bargain!
