Gotta see it!

My daughter was home over the weekend. One thing on her list to do was to see the new "WALL-E" movie. We went to see it Friday night the day it opened. It was really cute, a great movie to see with the family!

Weekend in Blue Ridge, GA

Chris, a friend from my painting class, invited a few of us to Blue Ridge over the weekend. We stayed in her beautiful log cabin and painted the Toccoa River, Blue Ridge Mountains and the Chattahoochee National Forest. My car was almost mowed down while we were painting along the Toccoa River.

Picture worth a 1000 words!

Sometimes I babysit for a friend's little baby. She is 7 months old. When she fell asleep on my stomach tonight, I just had to grab my camera. Sometimes a picture is worth a 1000 words! Enjoy!

Sidewalk in Varenna, 5" x 7" watercolor

This is a typical street in Varenna, Italy. The city is built on a hillside along the edge of Lake Como. All of the streets wind steeply up hill toward the main cathedral which was built in 1313. There are 800 citizens who live in this beautiful little town year long.

Back from Italy

Had a wonderful time in Italy visiting Milan, Lake Como, Venice, Florence, Capri and Rome. I took a couple of thousand pictures! I think walking six hours a day may have evened out all of the pasta we ate. I am posting one photo I took of the scene I painted in Tuscany. We stayed in a farmhouse which produced their own wine and olive oil. I'll write more soon. Going to catch up on my jet lag!

Going to Italy - Be back in two weeks!

Can't wait to visit Lake Como on Sunday. I'll take plenty of photos.
