  2. Thank you for your kind comments Bonnie, I do appreciate. The"simplest things" are beautiful , the pleasure of painting them is perhaps the pleasure of showing and sharing this beauty.

  3. Beautiful! The Brocolis reminds me of a tree study in Norrköping:) Hope everything is going great in France!
