The Golden Hour…. that moment during the day where everything is bathed in pure gold while the night is taking place. Those are the moments when I stop just to admire the beauty of our planet, no matter where I happen to be at the time.

La Hora Dorada… ese momento durante el dia donde todo es bañado en oro puro mientras la noche comienza a caer. Esos son los momentos donde me detengo a admirar la belleza de nuestro planeta, no importa donde me encuentre en ese momento.

This is such an endearing little work. Purple skies are a thing that dreams are made of.

Do you have any word on your friend, Mnauela?

I love purple skies! but I don’t paint them enough for some reason.

Haven’t heard much about it since the police is not giving much information for obvious reasons. The only thing we knew this past Friday was that she was still alive, which is wonderful news! the police was able to recover a DVD from an abandoned car that the captors made to prove she was still alive and they were able to provide them with the medicines she needed to take daily. That’s all we know. I just pray for this nightmare to just be over so she can go back to her family.
