Thank you so much. I used to do quite a bit of travelling and photography. It's nice to find some use for the pictures

It's February somewhere I'll start with a loose sketch/painting inspired by the "Spain - Sunset" reference.

 

[Joy]

Rikard, you're fast! I admire that you can be so loose and interpretive. I just try to copy and get very frustrated that I do not have more imagination.

Rikard, absolutely beautiful photos to work from. Thank you so much. So many wonderful options. You are around so much beauty. I can see that you’re going to inspire a lot of people to paint something!
Thanks for hosting.
