I love a picnic

What a way to spend an afternoon I took my book to read but the view was so fabulous we were happy with hours of watching the sun sparkle on the sea, finished with a cold beer and steak sandwich .... BLISS

The Golucho painting

contemplation

It's been a while since I have posted on the blog,
I saved this image quite sometime ago, & I apologise as I cannot remember the source, for some reason the image came to my mind today, so here I am sharing it with you, perhaps I am feeling a little whistful, it is such a beautiful image though, and inspires me to paint ,
There is a Spanish artist, Golucho whose work I adore , his painting of girl at a table has a similar quality of calm contemplation, I will see if I can find the image to share with you.

Interior Design

We love this Swedish white stylish apartment. Love the way that the accent colours come out so much against the plain white canvas. Gorgeous.

Travel Bug


We love this Eco friendly modern day version of the vw camper, its a classic that gives you that jump up and go feeling ... off to travel the world or at least start with some great beach trips. Designed by Alexndre Verdier it is only in the design stages at the moment but we hope that it becomes a reality, and we can see the happy campers out on the road ! with solar Panels fitted into the roof we should get away from good Old Blighty and find some sunshine.

Ronnie & Daisy are always searching for new artists and crafts people ,

the island , the colours and style of her work have a taste of the Grecian sunshine.
