Ibiza
In 1993, by way of a fortunate family connection, my husband and I starting renting a very rustic finca on the Mediterranean island of Ibiza. We started going there for six months a year.
Ibiza introduced me to color. I painted my first landscape.
Santa Ines, Ibiza
Oil on canvas
In the early 1990’s Santa Ines was a beautiful valley with just a dirt road surrounding it. One sunny day I took my easel, paints, and canvas for a plein air experience.
What you can see in the distance are flowering almond trees.
Legend has it that a Moorish prince planted the trees for his unhappy Nordic princess bride who was sad because she missed the snow.
