Lazy coastal summer days sailing on a warm afternoon . Pastel colors invoke the warm hazy feeling of a lovely day on the water and colorful skies overhead in the late afternoon.
14 x 11 acrylic on canvas done with a palette knife for texture of the water and clouds using heavy paint and a nice glossy finish.
Lake Como, Italy is probably my favorite spot from all of our travels. The vistas are simply breathtaking with the alps in the background, the gorgeous blue of the lake, the brightly colored unique buildings and the lush foliage dotting the magnificent gardens. I love this little laid back town of Varenna, which is so peaceful that all of your cares just melt away.
