Summer in Chelva

My blog is not only on portrait painting as I said in the beginning. As little I will write about the Opening Celebration of the Olympic Games in London last Friday although I loved to see it… no, about our daily life here: Summer in Chelva. You know we live in the small and beautiful Spanish village of Chelva, Valencia. We are proud to have our own vegetable garden beside the house. This morning we were up early, before the heat of the day. I made the little protection bags to the grapes. My wife did the tomatoes.

Can you imagine what it is to work in your garden in the early, fresh hours of this splendid july Sunday morning and having this gorgeous panorama?

If there was an Olympic Medal to win in the section Good Living, I am sure we would challenge for Gold.
