we're in Italy

We're in Italy
6 x 6 in.

Speaking of bubbles, who wouldn’t love to be in a bubble in say Italy? Specifically Tuscany. You may or may not know that it’s a little dream of ours to live there one day, probably part time. Something about that landscape, architecture, food, wine, olive oil and overall way of life, in the country, not the city that really speaks to us.

Today, continuing on with more of the "realism" series, this time with a landscape, my characters, you may recognize them as Oscar and Olive of course, are in Italy. Laura left a comment last week about my new realism pieces reminding her of the traveling postcard gnome in the most beautiful movie Amelie...It could be fun to make my characters travel around the world...if only I could go with them! For now they are in Italy, which we hope to return to soon.

What a great painting - it really made me giggle!
Italy is one of my favourite countries as well.
