Venice

Venicia is one of a kind. No traffic; just canals, sunsets and spaghetti frutti de mar. I will return to paint in Venice some day.

Pisa

We took a day trip from Florence to Pisa on a stormy day. I was happy when it began to rain because it cleared the tourists from the courtyard and gave me a clear view of the leaning tower.

Cinque Terra

The Cinque Terra was one of our favorite stops during our travels. It's rugged coastline has a hiking trail that is very challenging, and perfect for lugging a french easel upon. You hike between villages and eat gelato and drink birra inbetween to catch your breath.

Sunrise in Amsterdam

The best time to paint in Amsterdam is early morning, the rest of the day you would have to dodge bicycles! This is a canal not far from the van Gogh museum, a place I frequented during my visit.
