Linda Watson says
Oh! Sketchbook, watercolors, brushes, all ready. I’m coming. Plus, Sweden? That’s home to some of my favorite weaving. May have to leave you for a bit and venture that way. What a summer it’s going to be.
Caroline Berk says
That first photo is great. The sun is shining on the little red building and it is reflected in that blue water and the dark green trees are also. Such intense colors. On the second one I saw a few houses whose owners have a different mindset; they are painted yellow and one even looks yellow-green. It looks like a place to explore, draw, eat drink and have a great time! We will all be eagerly awaiting your reports.

Karen Goetz says
