Influenced by other cultures

I’m in love with the colors of Mexico

And the Jacaranda trees… Spectacular in their own right, but in front of the terracotta and saffron-colored walls —absolutely breathtaking!

When I got home, I couldn’t resist painting my own Jacaranda Tree

And all of the doors, in so many colors. Each filled with stories of all of the lives who’ve passed through. My rendition:
