Bellagio Alley
from $143.50
This image was taken in the town of Bellagio, Italy on Lake Como. The rustic Italian architecture on a sun-drenched September day made for a perfect scene in this charming alleyway. This image presents with a distressed texture to complement the spirit of the scene. Please see the catalog for traditional black and white and sepia versions of this piece.

Hong Kong Junk
from $143.50
This photographs show one of the few remaining junk boats left in Hong Kong Harbor. This one is used for tourist rides. The thick, humid atmosphere separates the modern Hong Kong skyline from the traditional design of the junk. I feel that this image looks especially nice in the floating frame options but feel free to choose the full frame options if you prefer.

Venice Canal
from $143.50
A quiet canal in Venice, Italy illuminated by beautiful Italian sunlight and thick atmosphere. This photograph brings any room to life with its classic Italian feel and old world charm. I feel that this photograph looks very nice in the black or wood frame options.

Two Days at the Palazzo Rosso Farm in Vicenza, Italy
While in Italy, we had the good fortune of staying at the Palazzo Rosso Farm, which is a sprawling 400 property 15 kilometers south of the historic city of Vicenza and 1 kilometer from the beautiful Colli Berici Hills. We were the guest of one of Donna’s long-time friends from high shool who recently decided to [...]
“September at Ponte Vecchio” Oil Painting
Well so much for progress shots. I totally got into this one on Sunday. I started painting about 2pm and finished at about 10pm Sunday night. I made a few obligatory adjustments before I went to work this morning and this is the result. I must say that starting off with the tight sketch with [...]
Ponte Vecchio Sketch
Time to get back to the business of painting. I have taken quite a break due to my trip and then recovering at work. I am sure some of you know how it goes! Well, I hope I don’t drive myself batty with detail on this one. This picture, which was taken from a photo [...]
Andrew Loomis on Scribd.com
I was reading a post today on Stapleton Kearns’ blog about Andrew Loomis and his book series on drawing. The books are out of print and can be quite expensive to own so I did a search online to find the best price. As a result of my search, I found a site called Scribd [...]
Ponte Vecchio Giclée Prints Arrive
I was pretty psyched when my first ever Giclée on canvas prints arrived this week. After posting my stylized photo of the Ponte Vecchio a week ago, I had a request for a limited print! I have wanted to make a giclée on canvas for quite a while now and this seemed like a great opportunity [...]
The subtle charm of Siena and San Gimignano, Italy
While in Florence, Italy, we took a day trip to the Tuscan hill towns of Siena and San Gimignano. Not wanting to rent a car and attempt to get out of Florence in one piece, we elected to take a tour bus to both destinations. We stopped in Siena first after a 90-minute bus ride, [...]
Venice, Italy Photo Series
I have a few things to say about Venice beyond this post but I think I will wait for them and focus on this Venice photo series, which is a compilation of a few of my favorites from our visit. Venice is all about walking, which gave me a great opportunity to shoot and reshoot [...]
A Peaceful Escape to Portovenere, Italy
After the hustle and bustle of Florence, we made our escape to Portovenere, Italy. It took about one and a half hours by train to get to the port city of LaSpezia, where we took a 25-minute cab ride to Portovenere. We really did not know what to expect. Our primary mission was to visit [...]
Climbing the Duomo of the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore
It’s tough to take a picture in Florence without a crane or scaffold somewhere in the frame. Go figure, the buildings can be over 1000 years old! Although the view of the Duomo of the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence, Italy can be easily photographed with a long lens from the Piazzale Michelangelo, there [...]
Views near Ponte Vecchio in Florence, Italy
One of the best views of the city of Florence, Italy can be enjoyed on the Piazzale Michelangelo, which is just across the Arno River in the Oltrarno district of the city. My friend Lauren, who studied art history in both Florence and Venice actually recommended that we make a trek to the San Miniato [...]
I travel the world in search of beauty and bring home what I see through my lens.
By sharing what I learn along the way, I hope to inspire others to pursue their passions daily.
