Views, Views, Views - Dining with all Senses...

Rooms with a breathtaking view do not need much decoration but how about enhancing breathtaking views with another impressive view on a painting? Again I replaced the original art virtually with a silk painting that would perfectly match the colours in this room...

This silk painting has been inspired by the breathtaking landscapes on the Hawaiian Islands, especially the Haleakala National Park. You can read more about it here if you like.

    Your painting looks MUCH better than the one that's on the DR wall in the original picture. The scale is perfect, and love the rich colours.

    It was actually really warm in Nova Scotia -- I wore shorts & a T-shirt every day :-) It was only cool when we were out on the boats for whale watching and sailing.

    Ah Kelly - what a nice compliment - thank you!!!
    Your pics from Nova Scotia very much remind me of those my parents made in Norway. The colours are so clear - completely different from the South. I never could believe them when they said it was 30°C though - LOL...
