Abandoned Villa, Italy

This picture was painted for my grandson and his new wife as an apartment warming gift in Fall of 2008.  It was taken from a picture they selected from their honeymoon in Italy.

I painted this plein air watercolor on-site at Towering Rocks Farm, located in Tohickon, PA, in the summer of 2007.  I was with a group of artists led by Ed Letven (link).

Manoir d' Hautegente

This painting of Manoir d' Hautegente, located in the heart of Perigord Noir, France, is done in watercolor,  and was completed in November 2007.  My daughter stayed at this wonderful country inn one night on her country walking tour of France in August 2007.  She asked me to paint this scene from a photograph she took, and it was a good exercise in recreating the effect of a reflection on a body of water.
