International Images (Croatia, France, Turkey, Morocco, Spain, Italy, Scotland and Tanzania)
I always paint from my own photographs; however, occasionally I have chosen to paint other peoples images, usually from friends who have traveled and I've loved something I've seen. That's the case with my latest work of the below leopard!

Venetian Collection
Back to the Queen of the Adriatic, Venice! This enchanting city has drawn us like no other and so we return, again and again, staying in different sestiere, losing ourselves amongst the calle and canals. "Yet Another Lovely Canal" speaks to our wonderment of this place, no other name seemed more appropriate! To the right is the beautiful 18th century palazzo, Ca'Rezzonico, while down the canal to the left is Campo San Barnaba, where Indiana Jones rose out of a grate into the piazza!

Croatian Collection
Croatia, such an interesting country, held and lost by so many civilizations and cultures! From the crystal clear, turquoise depths of the Adriatic rise hundreds of islands, like Korčula and even the plot of land, now attached to the mainland by bridge, where beautiful Trogir sits! Everything is ancient, yet the Pearl of the Adriatic, Dubrovnik (right) is an astonishing, ancient city like no other (well, except Venice)! Although the massive, fortified walls aren't my focus here, the terracotta rooftops are! During the 1990's war, two out of three buildings were hit, and projectiles pierced more than 70% of the tiled roofs. "Dubrovnik's Terracotta Crown," focuses on those rooftops, both the weather worn and new!

Travel is such an important part of our lives that I can't help but paint the gorgeous images we are so lucky to have as memories. Originally it was all about the moment, experiencing the culture, the food, the history and, of course hoping for nice weather so my photo's looked great! Now, amidst all that, I'm searching for reflections, deep shadows and bright sunlight ... potential batik's always on my mind! Spring is our preferred travel time, Spain is still green with Oleander bushes flowering, similar to Turkish and Moroccan hillsides! The French and Italian hill towns aren't quite as busy, yet still have their flower pots! Scotland, well we're just really lucky! Having traveled there more times that I can count, in various seasons no less, we have always been blessed with sunshine (touch wood)!!
