One of the Art for Art sake I do is sketching. When I travel I try and get a few watercolors of places I've been. They are quick to get the feel. I'm not selling them and the sketchbooks usually end up in my library where only I look at them.
This is the Villa Balbianello it is on Lake Como in Northern Italy. An Italian explore owned the villa and it was open to private tours. Very cool.
Though it's more recent claim to fame besides being in a few movies, is being a close neighbor to George Clooney!
Love the choice of horizon line in your painting. It makes me feel like I'm traveling with you on a ship, a private ship, with lots of creature comforts, and maybe a good strong expresso while taking in the sights of Lake Como.
