Pink Teabag




Oil on wood 20x20cms available on Etsy

I love the colours of these fruity flowery  teabags.  My favourite colours...so in the end I just had to paint one.  This tea had berries and hibiscus flower in it and is supposed to aid relaxation and sleep.  It seems to work.... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Warm enough for a dip!

It gets warm early here in Sicily.  In April it's possible to go to the beach.  We did just that for Easter and travelled to the small island of Favignana.



Favignana is just off the Sicilian coast, about 30 mins on the hydrofoil from Trapani.  It's one of the Aegadian islands...Marettimo and Levanzo are the other two.
Beautiful beaches and rocky coves and so much nicer 'out of season'. Bikes or a boat are the best way to get around!




 There is only one little town but good for food and a glass of wine or two in the evening.
The other two islands are even more smaller and i'm saving those for next time....

Lemons and a blue bowl



Oil on wood, 20x20cms available from my Etsy shop

Last of the lemons, all are gathered for this year. Painted here in my favourite blue bowl...or at least favourite for the lemons. The afternoon sun filtering into the shadows lit up the lemons but it was sooo hard to capture.
