I'm Late! Sofiero; Helsingborg, Sweden





On our recent trip to Helsingborg Sweden, we were fortunate enough to see the Palace of Sofiero! The website states: "This year we celebrate winning the award "Europe's Most Beautiful Park 2010"

And it's true, the Garden's are just UNBELIEVEABLE!

Walking thru, I felt like Alice... the flowers are... well... such a feast for the eyes....


Our only regret was not having enough time to stay longer... we just did not have enough time to see all of the gardens...








As you walk down the paths, many of the flowering bushes are tower above your head, and it's easy to get lost in another world...

So if you ever get the time to go, I highly recommend a visit to the gorgeous Sofiero...

Lady Anna Marie


Lady Anna Marie: 8x10 Painted on Canvas


On our recent trip to London and Denmark, we got to
visit a few castles. I painted this lady thinking of castles...

Dark corridors, stairwells and candeabras....





First, in London, we went to The Tower.


Loved seeing the Crowned Jewels, the royal armour, and the prisoner graffiti.....

In Copenhagen, we went to Frederiksborg Castle home of Christian IV. The Castle and the Church were just incredible! This is one of the stained glass windows in the church. Isn't it beautiful?!
