experimenting... and loving it....

Another Wednesday morning of discovering what can happen when we experiment with colour and additives: vinegar, oil, salt, alcohol, lemon juice on top of watercolour, then wandering in with lines to see what we can find. Thank you Pernille for another smile making session, once again I come home delightfully surprised.

After almost six weeks in Peru and Boliiva , back in my beautiful mountain village in Southern Spain, my heart aches, broods, craves, desires, dreams, grieves, hankers, languish for, sighs for, thirsts for, yearns for South America, and all its craziness, confusion, beauty and mystery.
