Landscaping

Wednesday, June 22nd, 2011

So happy that I stumbled on Philip Govedare’s incredible landscape paintings, a flawless combination of abstract and realistic (and unbelievable colours). They kind of remind me of being in a helicopter again, but without all the nausea. I recommend going to his site and seeing them nice and big!
