Painting Italy

Happy Paint Party Friday!

Thanks for all the sweet comments

on my last PPF painting of two wild horses.

I have never received so many comments

for any post.

My instructor liked them too,

so that made me feel good.

It was wonderful!

Nothing better than other artists

acknowledging and liking your work.

I still have not decided on a name for it...

I am terrible when it comes to giving my art titles.

I wish there was a class on that!!!  LOL

Now on to this week's PPF painting.

For several years,

I've had this photo

(one of several hundred)

from my Italy trip.

I have always wanted to paint it,

so that is what I did this week.

My friend Lana and I stayed in Umbria, central Italy,

known as the 'garden' of Italy.

I saw so many beautiful things.

Everywhere I looked I saw colorful flowers...

in old terra cotta pots...

lining every step of an outdoor stone stairway,

on streets by every door way,

outside windows and doors on balconies,

and more.

The iron scroll work was beautiful too,

up against the colored, aging buildings.
Italy is an artists paradise.

I hope to paint many more

of my photos....
of Italy and otherwise.

I know you will enjoy seeing all of the
great pieces of unique and beautiful art.

If you are an artist, why don't you join us!
It doesn't matter what level you may be at.
We even like to see unfinished pieces.
This is the third week,
and I have found great art blogs
I may not have found otherwise.

Savor the Day!
