Lago di Garda

Lago di Garda
Many vacationers head south to Italy at this time of year.

This was painted to the music of birds chirping, bees
buzzing, the sun shining and a gentle breeze blowing.
A lovely tune to paint by,,,,don´t you think?

This is my entry to Daily Paintworks and Crazy Amigos.

  19. Beautiful painting! Wasn't that such a fun challenge. Couldn't help but notice your Schmincke paints. I paint primarily with them. I bought them when I lived in Germany.

  26. Cynthia, this is so charming! I can certainly feel the sun and I'm pretty sure I hear the symphony of birds. I really like how the edges softly fade.
