We spent a week driving a hire-car around the amazing island of Menorca in May. The above artworks were a result of that intense experience, and were rattled off over the past couple of months. I hoped in them to capture some essence of Menorca: its light, colour and beauty. I like to call them "Late Postcards" because in a sense I am still there in spirit, and doing one of these pieces brings it all back to me. Like I'm sending myself a postcard! Hope to send some more soon (especially in the coming Winter...)
It is my intention to complete a detailed trip-report at some stage on the blog. In the meantime, I hope the above gives you all some sunshine to cheer you up.

Oh, incidentally, while out and about in Nature, we often manage to get some footage. I hope to blend this blog with our YouTube Channel to give a rounder experience to all this. All this is a work-in-progress, but you can check out what we've posted so far here...
