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.

May 2012 Painting Challenge
OK folks, I am off to San Francisco tomorrow and will end up in Yosemite National Park at the end of the week for some fun and relaxation with Donna. In honor of the trip, I thought I would post my very own picture of the famous painted ladies of San Francisco from Alamo Square [...]
April 2012 Painting Challenge
Wowzer! It’s been a while. So sorry for being so late in getting this up this month. Since I am late, feel free to take until the end of the first week of May on this challenge. Truth is, I have been really busy lately and, well frankly, feeling a little uninspired. Enough of that [...]
March 2012 Painting Challenge
Let’s try something different for March. I am giving you two photos work work from. One is an original photo and the other has been digitally simplified to give you some ideas about how to simplify the subject matter. I sometimes use this method to help me sort through the clutter. Look at the trees [...]
February 2012 ADNW Painting Challenge
For February’s challenge photo, I chose my favorite bridge of all time. Of course it’s the Ponte Vecchio in the beautiful city of Florence, Italy. I took this photo when Donna and I visited Italy in 2009. Florence was our first stop. We also visited Siena and San Gimignano in Tuscany, the Cinque Terre, Vicenza [...]
January 2012 ADNW Painting Challenge
Here he is, our Grand Central reader. I took this photo a year ago last November while visiting New York on business. I loved his gesture and thought at the time how he would make a good challenge photo. You will have until January 31st to submit your work and, as always, I look forward [...]
November 2011 ADNW Painting Challenge
This one will be fun! This is a photo I took while visiting the beautiful Château d’Azay-le-Rideau in France. I am planning to enter a painting this month as well. My plan is to work on getting the draftsmanship right first. A bad drawing can ruin a perfectly good painting! Then it will just be [...]

You will have until November 15th to submit your pieces. This month’s challenge is of an accordion street performer that I saw while doing some street photography near [...]
September 2011 ADNW Painting Challenge
Having just got back from France, I am going to start the challenge mid-month! To be fair, you will have until October 15th to submit your pieces. This month’s challenge is of a waitress in Paris. The profile of her face against the dark drape and light on her apron caught my attention as Donna [...]
July 2011 ADNW Painting Challenge
I am amazingly late this month. I’ve got the workin’ too much blues! I love this train. It runs up and down the tracks along the mountains near my home everyday. Last winter, my son and I went out for a quick photo fix and we decided to wait for the train to go by. [...]
June 2011 ADNW Painting Challenge
I love this picture! I am early because this month because I have wedding duty starting tomorrow and I was really excited to give you this photo to work on. I have left this one wide open for you by providing a big view for you to compose from. Ahhhh, the greens and purples and [...]
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.
