From studio's window

In the beginning of 2012 we have this fantastic weather in Gran Canaria. Actually we are expecting the cold weather soon at the peaks of the island and they say it may even snow this year!

What I see from my painting studio's window. Beautiful green valley with the palm trees and view to Atlantic ocean...

I wish a stable and strong earth from 2012. No more shakes, my home country, Turkey suffered several earthquakes just few months ago. Many devistated stories and sadness...
