San Gimignano Study 28.5.15
Journal 15.VII.99
Ah yes! I remember. Lost again on the way back to Siena, but we made it in time to do the laundry at the lavanderia in the Plaza del Campo before returning to the Ostello Guidoriccio and a late supper at the superb Ristoranti Fontebecci next door. I had a spectacular grilled whole fish and when we returned to the restaurant one year later on our second visit to Siena, the same waiter looked at me for a moment and then said, “Whole fish“. Amazing!
Agassiz tulips 10.4.15
With today’s image of the Agassiz Tulips it seems a good time to look back over the past one hundred days with nine favourites to make it 10 on the 10th for the 100th.
Agassiz in progress 6.4.15

My favorite complementary colors, yellow and violet, make today’s Monday Bouquet the
perfect way to send Complements of the Season to one and all.
Happy Holidays everyone 🙂
This collage featuring Olga Korbet, the golden girl of the ’72 and ’76 Olympic Games, will be familiar to those of you who follow my Monday Bouquet.
Her never-to-be forgotten gold medal performances and a smile that is as heart warming and magical today as I remember it in 1972 are worth re-visiting in this official YouTube video from the International Olympic Committee: http://youtu.be/c2NGqI6FqeQ
For Krista’s Photo Challenge: Yellow, and Ailsa’s Travel Theme: Golden
Painting the refraction of light illuminating these stained glass windows of the imagination.
The dialogue between the photograph and the painting as it changes continues until that moment when the conversation ends and the painting is considered finished. The two photographs were taken at the magical Castello di Reschio in Umbria and the paintings completed in my studio back home. I have previously posted the different stages of the second painting, entitled Cypress Alleyway, in response to a previous WPC: Layers, for those of you who would like to have a “virtual” studio visit.
