You can look, you can take photos, but to really be there,in the moment, there is nothing like sitting and drawing and painting what you see.

Thanks for coming along for the ride, and seeing Bellagio, Italy through my eyes, camera and sketchbook! Hope you'll join me on the French Riviera, June 1-7, 2014.
 
For being there in the moment, I agree there is nothing like sketching or painting. My recent travel sketches bring me great joy and are now being used in my textile work which I posted about last night.
