A Christmas gift for someone who hopefully never reads my blog! Looks religious but it's not!

I hardly ever paint in watercolor, but with limited time before a delicious lunch at the organic farm Il Casale, I pulled out my little watercolor set and painted the scene below our hilltop location.
What a great trip! My sister and I traveled to Pienza, Florence and Rome. Many paintings to come!
Ahhh...soon I will be painting in Tuscany again. Same location as last year -- Pienza. I promise to bring home many ideas for paintings, as well as some studies that could evolve into real paintings.
