Yes, it’s a mad crush of things at the end as you try to squeeze in everything you haven’t done (including a pastel!). Good for you being on painting #16 whether or not it’s working! Home safe and sound and glad the weather is sunny and not too cold after glorious days in Budapest.

I’m always beating myself up over not meeting my expectations! There is simply way too much to do and see in Europe. I’m currently working on painting #16, but not all successful or showable! And there are still some people I meant to meet up with, places to see, exhibits to visit and I’ve been here for a month! But…it just won’t all get done and we have to be ok with that. I’m looking forward to seeing your finished painting. Safe travels home!!

Heather – you so got that right! I can’t imagine NOT taking some art gear even though after this experience I may be tempted to do so. When I go to Mexico in the winter, I go to paint as well as enjoy the warmth. Didn’t think to myself, ah this Budapest trip is completely different – everything will be new and there will be so much to see and do! AND you’re working on computer project. Sheeshkabob.

Thank you for pointing out that what I do have from my trip is pretty darn wonderful 🙂

And so glad you enjoyed the blog!!

Thanks Sandi! Look forward to seeing what you do. Boats are tricky things but such wonderful subjects!

Some boats in the Marina here.

A lesson long since learnt – when travelling especially – going to new places which is exciting enough – just don’t expect you will function the same as at home! To have one good piece and a load of lovely memories – plus your sketch book – is a real achievement.

So I can tell you what might happen next time you go travelling – you don’t expect so much of yourself – leave some gear behind and regret it. LOL. The life of an artist eh?
