...that means "farewell" in Greek...and guess what? Greece is where I will be for the next month!

Two of my best friends and I will be studying abroad in Greece during May and we leave this Sunday. I am sad to have to put a bit of a hault on Arbour Beauty, but the good news is that I will have so many amazing pictures! I'm not sure if trees look any different over there but I suppose we will find out :) I don't know that I will be doing much painting over there, but that might be okay after all. Instead, I'd like to spend some time researching the lives of women over there.

Do not fear, I will still have access to internet and all that jazz so I can certainly keep you all up to date on my whereabouts, findings, and shenanigans from abroad! I hope maybe I can spend some time really sharing Arbour Beauty and getting the word out around town, even from Greece. Isn't social media amazing?

I will update later this week with a couple more paintings I've been working on, but for now, here is a lovely tree trunk I came across on the University of Memphis campus last week while walking to class! When the tree is in bloom, it is gorgeous!
