I am back from my glorious bicycle European adventure. The Netherlands, Belgium, France all had something wonderful to absorb. And the butter and pastries of France are worth all the hype. Yum.
As we were pedaling along my mind was busy with possible paintings and ideas inspired by the landscape and, of course, the architecture. With Signore Greve being from Italy, he fits perfectly in the scenes of Europe but it isn't just the scenery that inspires. Art abounds.
The above is a painting by Hans Van Draanen. I found a book on his work in one of the rooms we rented. I love his loose style of people and the great texture. This artist was from Amsterdam. Van Gogh rules in Amsterdam it is true, but we enjoyed galleries with a bit of everything.
I am sorting through emails and working through laundry but my brain is still churning away with ideas. Travel is just pure fun. Having your mind take in so many new sights, taste and ideas is energizing. So where have I been? Creating!
