Jayne and her husband take frequent
trips to Africa to gather inspiration for
her paintings and embroideries.
As Jayne says, "one of the most
important things is to make notes of
the fauna and flora that are used to
complement the main subject".
Sounds like a perfectly reasonable
excuse for Safari holidays!
