One of the things I've started doing on trips is to purchas a painting or print that reminds me of some part of the trip. The guy who painted this picture is one of Michael's friends. I think the style is stunning and I will definitely purchase one of his works when I rejoin the ranks of the wage earning masses. The canvas here is actually a 4x8 sheet of plywood! I just find this painting incredibly captivating. The painting is sitting under the grape vine here because if the house fell down the hill while we were jacking it up, Michael didn't want to lose the painting!
