Our summer adventure with the kids is coming to an end, and before I return to my usual painting routine, I want to share a few more pieces from my series of quick summer studies.

This little round painting is one of them. A glowing sunset, my favorite decorative clouds, and a completely imaginary landscape. It was painted over two days, but the actual painting time was only about two hours, the rest was simply waiting for the acrylic layers to dry.At the moment we’re still in Turkey, and the last couple of days have been… memorable. Our airline lost our suitcase, so for two days the four of us had nothing but what we were wearing. We bought the essentials for a few days, and thankfully the suitcase has finally been found. If everything goes as planned, it should be delivered to us this evening.It reminded me of something important: when life refuses to follow your plans, try not to spend your energy fighting reality. Instead, ask yourself, “What can I do right now to improve the situation?” Focus on the next step instead of the frustration. Negative emotions rarely solve problems, but calm actions often do.

Anyway… I’m looking forward to being back in the studio very soon.
