The Pink Vespa SOLD



Oil on Panel 6" x 6"

I snapped this gorgeous pink Vespa in an outdoor Paris cafe last year. I was very attracted to the scene with the contrasting green of the cafe door, the green table cloth and chairs. The owner of this little Vespa was wearing matching pink with red hair! The weather was perfect for a leisurely outdoor lunch watching the passersby as the Parisians love to do.

Relaxing at the Beach




I thought I would share with you some of my relaxing beach paintings. These beaches are from the East coast of Australia.
There is nothing like relaxing at the beach on hot summer's day. I hope the relaxing music will bring back fond memories for you of summers past.
