So much Inspiration

Jim and I are spending 10 days in beautiful Costa Rica with my mom & dad and am so glad I brought my  sketch book with me.  The Royal Palms here don't even look real & the foliage is amazing.  Below are some pictures I have taken that I will use to create new pieces.  I also sketched the Royal palm that is right off our balcony and that will become one of my pieces for my Living in Paradise collection.  Part of me wants to stay here for months & the other is anxious to get home to my studio.  What a great dilemma to be in!
