Back in Malta, still landing....

After three weeks of holiday in the UK and USA, I think it might take a while to get my feet back on the ground. I had never been to America before, so the flight alone was an experience..... and then- America!
 

Austin Texas to be precise. I was visiting my friend the artist Bruce Bingham in her new home. We didn't actually paint much but we had a lot of fun visiting art galleries and museums.

 What hit me the most were the signs though - and the sense of crazy humour everywhere.

'No Zapatos, No Tacos'
 Shops so packed with Things that it was almost too much to take in, and the overwhelming friendliness.

I had intended to blog while I was away, but it didn't happen.

'Five Reasons to Drink Wine'
Now back to earth and getting myself in gear again. The Malta Arts Festival begins soon, and then the Malta Jazz Festival, so I am looking forward to painting there as usual. 

I have a collection of paintings hanging at Palazzo de Piro in Mdina until the end of August. It's such a great venue - do pop in if you can!

Meanwhile, enjoy some Austin humour!

 I was too busy taking things in to put anything out..... and that included a very special red wine called Sexual Chocolate as well as grits, meatloaf, chicken fried steak, corn dogs, frozen margueritas..... all those things I'd heard of and never tasted. I didn't even know what they were!

OOPS - sorry, forgot to let you know that I had returned safe and sound! I think I am jetlagged now rather than after the flight from Texas!

It all seems like a dream........ XX

I really did! I have to start saving up to go again - hopefully when the weather is cooler so that Bruce and I can go out painting too.
