The Vineyard depicts the colors of Fall by a winery near Lucca. The yellows, reds and fading greens contrast with the stucco of the local structures. It was so peaceful during this quiet time of the year.
Sleeping Gull shows how warm sunshine and a beautiful garden can make one oblivious to everyone around. This guy was totally zoned out. As I walked through the gardens near the palace observing the marvelous statuary and lush plantings, the gull stood out as the most unexpected sight.
Who...me? came to me as I was looking through old photos of a fishing trip. When we unloaded our gear on the dock, the pelicans were extremely curious. It occurred to me that had I left things unattended they might have been even bolder. That might have led to what I decided to paint.
