Getting back inspiration

and making collages again. Finally, por fin!

Ruin

Close to our new house there is this ruin, which once was a finca. This week we heard the shepherd and his flock of sheep walking in the neighborhood and were very surprised! 

the house and other buildings are too deteriorated to be restored and we understood from a neighbor that a permit to build new is not granted to the owners of the plot. Hopefully this will remain so, cause I love the place as it is. Quiet, unobstructed view over the valley and Mediterraenean. We feel so lucky to start our Spanish adventure here...

Almonds..

Our new home is situated in the mountains and we are surrounded by orange groves, almond- and olive trees. Our landlord lives in the village, but is working his land every day. He gave us a basket with these almonds and yesterday afternoon we 'shelled' some on the well outside. I liked the colors in this picture and for the time being I consider this my art!

Pomme granate

This morning I found this fruit hanging in one of the bushes along our country road in Spain. I took it inside and placed it on a piece of rooftile I also discovered outside. Our container will arrive in about two weeks and in the meantime I try to make it cozy inside... The pomme granate fell down a few times, it cracked open and though I knew, its beauty surprised me once again. No human art yet, but art from nature is always there!

BACK! it seems...

Hello dear all,

It's been ages since I was able to post, in reality it was months ago, but I was seriously in doubt if I would ever be able to post again! There were problemwith s Blogger, who did not seem to understand that I suddenly wanted to work on a tablet, fwith rom a different location, a different country also. And there was a password conflict with our new family password and mine for blogging. However, fingers crossing but it looks like these nasty things suddenly have been solved now I'm in Spain!!

For that is where I am in the meantime, after an awsome vacation in the USA, a quick two week period on Sint Maarten (for the move), a similar quick 10 days in The Netherlands.

Since a week we are in this new country of us and tomorrow we will move into our new house. There'a lot of catching up to do, but fot now I just check if adding a picture also works and if so I will be back with posting regularly, I promise. I feel so happy now, till soon
