Recently spend 2 weeks by trains visiting mainly Switzerland. So long on the train I did some painting and sketching. Not easy. It is amazing how wobbly train journeys are when you are trying to paint some detail.
Here is some of the work done on the journey and that one at the end done from a photograph since we came home.

| Stresa on Lake Maggiore, some wobbly people cos of the train! |
 |
| On the Bernini Express on the way to Turano |

| Painted from a pic in magazine. Mint ice cream cake. |

| Again, from a magazine |

| For sale on the Glacier Express this little mountain goat |

| Painted since our return. This was the view from our hotel. One of those 'special' memories that I just had to capture |
Beautiful memories from an exciting journey! And very nicely painted. I love the colors and subtelty of the Matterhorn landscape
ReplyDeleteThat alpen glow greeted us each morning (4 days). Perfection
DeleteAll beautiful but especially like the one of Stresa. Wish I was back there now. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteI loved the little islands we visited too. Great place
DeleteBonjour,
ReplyDeleteJe suis sous le charme de l'ensemble de vos aquarelles. J'aime le jeu des couleurs et la délicatesse.
Gros bisous ✺ ♡ ✺
Merci beaucoup, vous etes tres gentile. x
DeleteGorgeous paintings all. Thank you for taking us on your journey!
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean Polly .... most of my Blog posts these days start with apologies for big gaps between entries. I vowed not to have my own Facebook page but I ended up tagging onto hubby's page and sadly its sooooo easy to get bogged down there!
ReplyDeleteYou have an extraordinary skill of observation and ability to turn your experiences into wonderful, fun paintings. I always look forward to seeing your posts.
Know what you mean! I feel guilty neglecting my blog frriends.
DeleteNice collection of sketches from life and references!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you to each one of you for commenting on my holiday memories.
ReplyDeletePolly your paintings always look so light, fresh and airy. I love all of these but the one of Stresa stands out, probably because of the inclusion of figures which always adds so much to any scene. Brilliant work!!
ReplyDeleteThank you John. We don't know what our own work looks like really so nice to hear your comments. Couldn't not do figures it was a busy buzzing place.
