Our bikes race up and down the gentle hills of Provence.  Everything has a distinct texture, the colors are vibrant, and the perfume in the air is intoxicating.  And every twisting road we turn down has countless rows of purple and blue lavender.  The heat of the Mediterranean sun presses against our backs as we pedal back to the village of Sault.  I'll never forget the fields of France.

This painting would look best in a space that is light red, yellow, orange, green, blue, deep purple, black, white, grey, beige, or wood

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty


HAPPY NEW YEAR

We've accomplished so much together in 2022.  And that's a great reason to celebrate.  It's good to acknowledge all we've learned from our obstacles too.  These stumbling blocks are opportunities for growth in 2023.  I expect it to be a great adventure for us.


Thank you for being you.  I'm so grateful to have you in my life.

Your Friend,
Mike Kraus
