Life is full of inspirations and beauty. My heart is full of gratitude. I am grateful that I have met wonderful people in my life who have inspired me in so many ways and could share myself with them. There are also people 'who we have met maybe once, perhaps not at all' as Truman Capote wrote in 'Christmas Memory' (beautiful and heart warming short story). People who touched our hearts. Like our lovely neighbour Ingrid, Like the man who we met on the plane and never asked him about his name. Or people who I follow on their blogs. Or homeless Jim who loves dancing and many, many more of beautiful souls who we meet everyday. They all share their hearts with us.
One of my and Scott's favourite memories from Rhodes is a memory of a Beeman. We met him and his wife accidentally during driving through the mountain range. He was selling homemade products in his little caravan trailer. He let us to try them and at the same time he opened his heart by giving us the most charmful and welcoming smiles. We called him a Beeman. If you ever drive through the mountains in Rhodes and notice a little trailer, please stop by and try his lovely honeys and herbs. We also took a photo of him and his wife. They both proudly and happily presented their little yummy creations. Beautiful simplicity and way of living. Inspired by this memory, Scott put the Beeman's story into a beautiful song. Please listen and enjoy (here ).
My latest works are paintings of memories from Rhodes. I wanted to put and capture lots of light and healing blue on them. Both painting were based on the photos taken in Rhodes. 'In my garden' is a pastel painting which describes present time, mostly my spare afternoons which I spent in the garden.
Love and blessings to you all.
