Yes, this is a real place.

Cape of Good Hope

The terrain in the area is really remote and dramatic. The white looks like rocks but are actually patches of white flowers.

Africa

Well, I return inspired, relaxed and ready for life again. It is a very good thing to get a vacation.

I'm a tad jet lagged so it will take a few days for the stories.

Hope you all had a lovely holiday.

Gone Fishing!!

Gone Fishing!!

I 'vill be back November 26th.

I had all these great aspirations- I would be ahead in the blog- visitors would never know I was gone... Or even collect and post a few of my favorites from the year... but life got in the way. Heck, I didn't have time to paint a "gone fishing" sign. I just need to finish my work for my "normal job" as a miner, pack up and zoom.

I want to wish you all a simply fabulous Thanksgiving! Even if you don't celebrate it and do not eat turkey. Because spending time with family and giving thanks for what we have in life are generally good things to do.

Please do not become disheartened in my absence. I will be rekindled and fresh when I'm back. Plus, I have like a 4'X5' canvas waiting for me to compose upon my return.

Safe journey and love to all.

I have several "spirit" paintings going right now. I really enjoy playing with them.

I'm really enjoying painting this week. Spice of life! But, these pics are a bit off from the real life colors. I need to work on that.
