An old train at the Milano Centrale train station.

Traveling in Europe means you'll be spending a lot of time in train stations. I didn't mind so much in Milano Centrale, which is a beautiful Stile Liberty (Italian Art Nouveau) building, plus I had time to draw. Here is an old train that was sitting at a platform not far from where I was sitting. I wish I had a little more time, but I had to catch a train.

The Arch of Titus, Roma.

This is the beautiful Arch of Titus in the Roman Forum. I did a sketch or two when I was in Rome and I decided to do a small painting.


The color looks a little off, but I'm also taking the photos for this blog with my iPhone instead of scanning.

I'm pleased with the outcome in person.

Trieste, Italia

Trieste is one of the most beautiful cities I visited during my time abroad. Here's a vista of the Adriatic Sea from Castello di Miramare.

Monteriggioni from studies

I decided to start doing more "finished" watercolor paintings from all the studies and photos I took while I was away in Italy. I gathered so much information, that I think it would be wasteful not to produce some more work from it. Here is Monteriggioni revisited.
