Night in Florence - 5x7

I've been waiting all day to post this! Our power has been out since early this morning, and everything on my do to list today required electricity, so happy it's back on!

When in Rome - 5x7

I'm particularly fond of how this piece turned out.  Late afternoon sun on pavement is always fun to paint.

Along the Arno - 5x7

Had to stand in the middle of a pretty busy street to grab this shot, but it was worth it.  The sun was perfect, I couldn't pass it up.

Florence Lights - 6x6

Wouldn't it have been nice if this was actually how this scene looked, but I think I edited about 300 people out of it.  Florence seems to be the Disneyland of Italy :)

Florence at Dusk - 6x12

I think I must have drove Zach nuts stopping to photograph every pretty much every alleyway we passed.  I couldn't help it :)

Ponte Vecchio Path - 5x7

Time for some views of Italy! I loved how the night was filled with orange and blues.

Clouds Over St. Peter's - 6x6

I've been wanting to paint this one for a while, but I was nervous about how all those statues would turn out.  They were much more enjoyable than I thought they would be.

Venice Canal II - 5x7

I completely forgot to post anything yesterday.  I guess that's what happens when I try to do all my Christmas shopping in one day.   I didn't get it all done, but I did get a good chunk of it out of the way.  Now I can focus on other holiday activities, like the two craft fairs I signed up for, and of course lots of baking :)

Venice Canal - 6x6

One of my favorite memories in Venice was sketching I got to do there.  I must have sketched at least a dozen of these waterways, each one was unique and all I wanted to do was paint them!

Church Near Ravenna - 6x6

Busy day yesterday,  I managed to melt a teapot and crack the stove all before 10 am.  I didn't even know I could break the stove.  It's ok, now I'll have the fun adventure of attaching a new stove top.  Luckily I live with an engineer, so I feel like we should be able to figure this out :)

Window Shopping - Daily Oil Painting - 5x7

I loved painting this piece, I was instantly attracted to the bright yellow wall and the shadows. This was painted from one of my oldest reference photos, it's been in my "to paint" folder for over a year now. I'm glad I finally got to it.
