A Poem & A Painting: Travel to Tuscany

I’ve just returned from an amazing trip to Tuscany filled with wonderful friends and memories that I will carry in my heart forever.  There’s so much to see in Tuscany, a beautiful vista or stunning tableau seemingly wherever you turn.  I found myself so inspired, taking photos, sketching, and using my travel watercolors to jot down my impressions.

I love this quote and how it fits with this week’s paintings…

“With the color that paints the morning and evening clouds that face the sun

I saw then the whole heaven suffused.”
~Dante 

Here is my inspiration for the first painting, the view from San Gimignano

My “quickie” watercolor

In Sienna, from the Parade of Neighborhoods

Wishing you a wonderful week!  I’ll be going through pasta and wine withdrawals and getting ready to attend the Wayfair Heart Home Conference in Boston later this week ~ I’m so excited that my good friend Joann from Kandrac & Kole will be attending with me!
