Spain is so much more than beautiful vistas. It is also the amazing close-ups that you encounter and often just pass by. Take this one, for example. These blue, blue jars in the sun. Or these other small compositions, all waiting to be painted. Here are some of my favorites, just for you to paint.
I will be leaving Spain and traveling to France, so I must keep this short. I will truly miss Spain, and all of the wonderful people who traveled with me. They are fantastic and it gives me such pleasure to see them blossom. Here are just a few before and after photos.

Thank you so much for reading, and see you soon in France!
Kathie
If you ever gave a chance to travel with Kathie, do it! Besides learning so much in painting, you make new friends, have so much fun, and see some amazing places you probably wouldn’t see if you just went on your own. Memories to keep forever! Thank you, Kathie for a fantastic trip! Wish I could have continued on to France. Also got to meet her precious daughter, Sara, and the guy behind all her jokes, Mike. Oh yes, Kathie probably won’t brag, but Sara ran the Marathon in Ireland, came in 7th for women and qualified for the Boston marathon!
Who’s taking over Yuca’s belly rubs? Miss you!
Really enjoyed your pictures and paintings!!!!!!!
Brings back memories. Have fun in France (another wonderful memory).
What a lovely, generous idea to send us reference photos so we can have a virtual trip! And the before and after pictures are beautiful….and inspiring. Safe travels to France and more beauty to surround you/11
Beautiful as always! Thank you for all the inspiration. Have fun in France. ?
Thanks once again –
The before & after photos are inspiring.
I have such wonderful memories of La Finca Villa from last year. It’s true, it’s a painters paradise. I love how the shadows from the blue water bottles have blue in them. Great photos and paintings. I’m still having daydreams of beautiful Greece!! You surely planned an exciting adventure for us, Kathie and it was awesome! You’re definitely a memory creator with your journey trips….along with being an amazing artist & teacher! Thanks for all you do!! Have a blast in France! Be safe and God bless you. Love and hugs!!!
Very inspiring. Your students certainly do blossom!
It looks like everyone had a very fun and productive time. Love the photos you shared, I can see you completing some beautiful paintings from your references. As always it’s great to see what you are doing. Hope you enjoy your time in France.
I’ve been on 4 of Kathie’s European trips and each is better than the year before. They are incredible!!! I’ve made so many dear friends on these trips from all over the U.S. And Canada and Malaysia!!!
We will be waiting for France!!
