Scotland oh Scotland

I am so very glad to be back in Scotland!! It is chilly here!! The temp is around 50 degrees!! I knew that but I somehow thought in my mind that you mix 50 degrees here with the blazing heat and humidity of Houston and you end up feeling about perfect and so I didn't bring a coat. But it doesn't really work that way. It's still cold here and it's still hot in Houston.

I somehow forgot to take my camera on my adventures today so...tomorrow you will see pics. So instead since I am so cold right now....I am sending a few new Christmas card designs that I worked on tonight!!

Scotland Oh How Fair are you??

My daughter Mary Moore shared some photos with me that I have to ooh and ahh over. She went on an adventure to the Isle of Skye and sweetly shared a glimpse for me to see. So.. I can't but help to show you as well. I am so excited that I want to go grab my paints !! Hope you enjoy the inspiration as well.

I am hoping Mary Moore will use these scenes in some of her upcoming work?!

I am imagining a story about the children who grew up in these colorful cottages.

How lovely to sail away and then come home to your sweet cottage.

Or maybe I would prefer a stone cottage  with a meadow for my sheep and they each would know their names and come running when I called.

Can you see the purple clumps of flowers hanging from the cliff??
