A Taste of Spain, watercolour on vellum, ©Shevaun Doherty 2015

"When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy" ~Rumi

Every now and then something finds you, and it whispers to you about golden sunshine, birdsong and the rich warm smell of earth.

Paint, it says.

“To move, to breathe, to fly, to float,

To gain all while you give,

To roam the roads of lands remote,

To travel is to live.”

Hans Christian Anderson

I have just returned from a week of light, colour, laughter, friendship and fabulous art in Madrid.
