9th April: In the last few weeks we have had some lovely warm days since the snows of February have all melted on the lower ground. However, during a storm last night, the mountains have topped up what was a fast disappearing snowline. Sadly, a few of the trees opposite our house have also disappeared as they were sold for firewood (the most popular source of heating here). Fortunately the view we nowhave from our balcony is still stunning but it still seems a shame about the trees...

of our village, Appignano, in acrylic
In July 2010, we took the plunge and bought a house in the very beautiful part of Italy called ABRUZZO, where the mountains, countryside and coast are all stunning, truly an area to inspire anyone!
However, I am still painting Pet Portraits of your favourite pet - Dog portraits, Cat portraits, Horses and other animal portraits, from photos, in pastel, acrylic or other media, by post, so please ask for prices.
A friend saw this wooden tub in our old house, she immediately saw its potential as a flower tub - great idea! It had been left in there by the previous owners filled with rubbish.
