After a trip to Lagos in Portugal I brought an extra bag of seashells with me. I have started up my work of making vacation memory artwork.

This painting is called Burras in Space. It is the name of the beach that inspired me and also the name of the painting.

I was very proud and happy to see the figs in space framed and on a wall. The painting really matches the interior!

One of my neighbours on Gran Canaria has a big lemontree. I do like yellow a lot and the lemons became my next inspiration. And some lemon marmelade too.

A little view of my colorful spaceart.

I love looking for things on the beach. I have found the perfect place to find seaglass for my artwork. How I found it? I call myself a Googlemaps traveller.

It is easy to find inspiration when on Gran Canaria.

Signing Beach in Space on the spot where the inspiration comes from. Agaete, Piscinas Naturales, Gran Canaria.

This art wall is in my house on Gran Canaria. All the artwork is done by me.

Some weeks ago I was picking the sweet and beautiful colored wild figs in the mountains of Gran Canaria. this painting is influenced by this fantastic fruit.
