Spoleto and Beyond


I like to create my watercolors from sketches that I've done on location. Last year I spent two weeks in Italy with a painting on location workshop. We home based at the La Romita School of Art in Terni and went out each day to visit the small hill towns of Umbria. Spoleto was one of the larger towns we saw. This view was from a road up above the Duomo and afforded a view of the town beyond. It's called "Spoleto and Beyond". The July/August 2007 National Geographic Traveler Magazine featured this view on their cover. It was fun to know that I'd been there, sitting in the sun, sketching and enjoying the moment.
