I painted the background to this page before my trip to France, thinking that I’d find something appropriate to stick on it. I didn’t.

But last week I was at my parents’ place in Queenscliff, sitting outside in the shade overlooking the garden, and this was just what came to mind – peace. Complete and utter peace. Peace, quiet and time to recharge my batteries – perfect for the “innie” in me.

And interestingly, it was the exact feeling I had experienced during my trip to France, so it fitted well amongst those sketches anyway.
