Lake Como in the Afternoon

There are many little villages around Lake Como, all connected by a winding road running the entire circumference.  This particular afternoon we painted in a spot where families also gathered to bathe in the icy cold water of the lake.  The far mountains are Switzerland...still snow-covered on top.

Termezzo on Lake Como, Italy

This beautiful little spot on Lake Como was the site of our painting trip with the wonderful Kenn Backhaus.

Lezzano Afternoon

This is the little village in Italy on beautiful Lake Como where I had the good fortune to paint with Open Air Italy and the inimitable Kenn Backhaus.  What a wonderful time we had at Albergo Aurora Lezzano.  The air was thick with atmosphere!

Evening Sun

This plein air piece is a small village in France. Evening was falling.
