We're at the tail end of our Arizona adventure and really enjoyed our time in  the desert. It zipped by way too fast but we're hoping that we can return on some kind of regular basis. I had decided ahead of time to leave my oil paints at home due to the heat, but had a bit of fun with my watercolors. However, this subject matter kind of threw me for a loop due to the subtle values, but I am looking forward to playing with these colors on larger paintings and hope to share the results with you soon. Sorry I missed connecting with you all for so many days in a row!

Ok, so a million bucks wouldn't be enough to buy this Italian villa, but does Ten Million Dollar View really sound right??  We're living in a time of great inflation, but are still stuck with old catch phrases that can't be easily fixed. Anyhow, welcome back to Lake Como everyone. Sit down, relax, take in the view and have a Bellini or some limoncello. Revel in the jaw dropping majesty and grandeur, even if only from your armchair.

Lake Como is one of the most picturesque places on God's green earth. The warmth of the terra cotta rooftops against the backdrop of those cobalt blue mountains and all surrounded by that captivating, reflective liquid. WOW with a capital Double U, OH, Double U. It's a cheek pinching experience to be sure and my cheeks have been made mighty sore a couple of times over the years. It's a barrel o'fun to 'visit' these places again via my photos and squishy paint and then to share them with you. All in a day's work........
