Greekscapes - Bryony Sutherland - Bog

A twist of fate first sends this American artist to Greece to join a painting workshop in 1982. While there she is gifted with an epiphany: to continue her life journey she must resurrect faith in her intuition, forgive her past mistakes, and either mend or end her broken marriage. Yearly trips in the U.S. and abroad present unparalleled inspiration for her creative work for the next seven years, until a devastating loss sends her messages she can no longer ignore. While her plans for a secure future as a single are established, the ephemeral past beckons: her epiphany, the generous people, nature's landscape gardens, olive trees, mountains, the murmur of the incredibly turquoise sea, the peals of laughter...can living there possibly allow the serenity she seeks in her work? It may tempt fate for a middle-aged woman on her own with minimal financial resources to simply follow her heart to a new world, yet isn't it worth trying? With great hope and a sense of humor, she journeys forth from her unfulfilled past to "trust in the process" of art and life on the island of Poros.
