Description
Who would guess that you could get a photo from a rapidly moving tour bus and it would interest you enough to do a painting of it? Well, that is exactly what happened with this image. My husband and I were heading back from a cultural tour in the countryside to the city of Suva, Fiji, when we passed some of the local homes, nestled against the jungles. These island homes were very simple in nature, and each had their laundry hanging out on a line or two. As I studied the image for the painting, I noticed that the local people had used tires for planters in their yards as well as other interesting details. The colorful laundry and bright turquoise houses gave a sense that there is joy and contentment in living a simple life, validated by the smiles and friendliness of the Fijian people we met on our trip. For me, painting this image serves as a reminder that oftentimes people who find happiness do not have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything.
