Painting Plein Air
Painting Plein Air (the fancy french word for outside), takes some planning, but is totally worth it!

Iceland: The Northern Lights
We were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights twice in only 3 days! Before I went to Iceland I had researched the Aura and couldn’t wait to see the intense colours in the sky like I had seen in photos, I didn’t realise that with your naked eye you dont actually see that level …
