"Destiny is the conversation you were meant for." – David Whyte

Luang Prabang, Laos

A dear friend allowed me to do a painting from her remarkable photo of three Buddhist monks. With street scenes like this, Luang Prabang – the old capitol of Laos – feels as if you’re stepping back in time.

Jane, I’m running out of adjectives for how good you are. I just love your work! When I open one of your posts in the morning, I stare at your creation until my coffee gets cold. But you’re forgiven.

I have a microwave….
