Part of the reason we went back to Rome a second time was because of how much we loved the Trastevere neighborhood. This is a painting of Piazza San Calisto and Bar San Calisto in the Trastevere.
The ride into Positano was unforgettable.
El Born. Barcelona.
Painted a charming little building that we passed on our last day in Rome.
Quick study of a Vespa in Rome.
Painted one of my favorite little streets that we found when we were wandering around downtown Mykonos.
On our way off a beach in Paia we walked past a dog relaxing alone on top of a cooler. He was so calm and chilled out I thought he captured the feeling of that town and Hawaii perfectly. Not sure where the owner’s were that afternoon, but in my version they’re surfing while he watches and waits for them to get back to give him a treat from inside the cooler.
Some of the best pizza I’ve ever had at the restaurant Bonci Pizzarium in Rome. The crust was crunchy, thick, light and moist all at the same time. Combined with the fresh ingredients it made an amazing slice that I ended up spilling all over myself. Well worth it. The top is pizza con le patate; thinly sliced potatoes and mozzarella, and the bottom is roasted tomato and basil. Even the paper it was served on is great and ended up being my favorite part of this painting.
Paris has some pretty great views. Especially ones with all the awesome
gargoyles on top of the Notre Dame Cathedral. I loved the 90’s show
Gargoyles, so of course I had to do a painting of my favorites that we
got to see there.
Over the past couple years I’ve been lucky enough to travel to some
amazing places and I decided to start doing some paintings of my
favorites. Hopefully having this blog will give me some motivation to keep making them
This is of a restaurant called Kiki’s
Tavern on the island of Mykonos in Greece. We spent the day on Agios
Sostis Beach, right next to it, and then wandered up a path to eat
lunch. There’s no sign, but you can recognize Kiki’s by the tree’s
growing through the center and covering it. With no electricity/phone
they don’t take reservations, but they make up for any wait by
giving you free wine until a table’s ready. It was the best
Grilled Chicken I’ve ever had served with a baked potato wrapped in tin
foil, all cooked on a wood fired grill. It was simple and one of the
most beautiful and memorable places
I’ll ever go to.
