In November, one of Zsófi's colleagues, Anne Brown, asked me to paint something on her eldest doughter's (Enya's) wall. We met a few time to discuss this. It was supposed to be a christmas surprise for Enya as she was studying in Britain and would come back to Spain for Christmas. Anne was refurbishing the room and wanted the main subject to be the sea. We went from underwater coral reef to boats on the sea, tropical island, and many other things including some posing surfers until we decided on striped beach huts with a surfboard. This was in memory of the belgian beaches where they spent their summers while living in Brussels. It turned out to become something rather geometrical, which I'm not so used to do, but in the end it got good and I introduced an organic shaped hibiscus on the surfboard to break the rigidness of the rest. While painting, their cat cept me company, which was nice. I tried to take some pictures which was quite hard as the room is so small:



The funny thing is that Zsófi, a month or so later went for a walk along EL Campello beach and saw the exact same huts!
