Like all your pieces, this is beautiful :) Keep up the amazing work. I so I envy where you live/vacation. Absolutely beautiful.

I love the earthly colors and your shading is impeccable! Makes me wish I could go inside.

Another wonderful one I've missed. I've got to take time to go back through the older paintings/pictures and look at them all. I didn't even know this section was here for a while.
I love the old buildings/houses of yester year, a time gone by and this captures it well. And it's a real place, too. Paralee

this is fantastic, love how the buildings have leaned together with age. You caught it perfectly.
