Playing with colours and shapes

Every brush stroke is a decision to be made. You don't know what it will look like until you've done it. The result is immediate. The feedback is unforgiving. No wonder painting can be exhausting.

I'm spending my days in an art studio in the bohemian part of town, encouraged by an art teacher and accompanied by a friend and a group of ladies who could have about twenty years more life experience than us. A great start to a five week holiday period.

The city is full of colours and shapes providing an excellent inspiration source. It's amazing how the focus can shift and how the eyes open up to new impressions as you start using a different part of the brain.
