I felt inspired to paint after looking through my many photos.  I have to remind myself to look through them, otherwise I’ll just completely forget about them.  For me, the joy is in taking the photos 😆

These paintings aren’t quite finished and the last one didn’t make it. I just didn’t like how it was turning out, so I painted over it and will use it for another study.  The photos were all taken when I was in Germany last year.

We went to Animal Kingdom last weekend, which is always nice.  If it weren’t for the crowds, it would be such a peaceful and relaxing place. I can’t imagine a time when Disney wasn’t crowded, but I’m told in the 80s it was actually not too busy. Though Animal Kingdom wasn’t around at that point.

I really love the Bread Service at the Sanaa restaurant at Animal Kingdom Lodge. I love bread though. Thankfully I’m not gluten intolerant because it would be so hard to give it up completely. The French toast at breakfast was amazing as well

Despite the crowds and initially not liking Disney at all – I actually find it inspiring to go there now. With the cheapest annual pass it’s not too expensive and I love the food festivals they do at Epcot 😀 I think they do a great job with the design of the parks and the general vibes.
