A local artist painting the very beautiful town of Positano . . .
While traveling I enjoy looking at artwork that can be found in famous museums, but I also love admiring artwork from the many talented street artists. Over the years, I've managed to purchase several beautiful pieces which I will treasure always.
Oh, so you're a patron of street artists... ;b
ReplyDeleteWhen I was 13, I had a portrait sketched by an artist in a square near London's National Portrait Gallery. I treasure it still. :)
I love this photo. I like his sweater and also the umbrella! I love buying art when I travel too.
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying the Olympics! Have a great weekend.
Hi girls, thanks so much for your comments....
ReplyDeleteYTSL, yes I love street artists. That's a cool story about your experience in London with an artist. Having these memories and treasures are part of what I love about traveling too.
Annie, I thought the same thing too. I love his colorful shirt and cute little umbrella. I actually enjoyed watching him paint. I try to buy at least one item on each of my trips. Nothing big because of limited space or expensive because of limited budget :) I woke up at 5:30 this morning and I am enjoying the games so far. :) Have a great weekend too.
Thanks YTSL and Annie, have a wonderful weekend.
I also enjoying buying pieces of local art of all sorts when I travel -- isn't it the best souvenir, to remind you of some special place and time?
ReplyDeleteI am sure he has some lovely paintings of the beautiful town. I like to buy paintings (not too large ones) when I travel too.
ReplyDeleteHi girls, thanks so much for your comments . . .
ReplyDeleteSandra, yes these wonderful art souvenirs is an great way to remember the places where I visited. It also reminds me of where I want to go back. :)
ECL, yes he had a wonderful and colorful style and his paintings represented the beauty of Positano perfectly.
Thanks so much. Have a wonderful weekend.
Lovely photo of the artist in the process of creating a painting! I am blessed with a house full of paintings by my grandmother and daughter, and keep thinking I want to give it a try myself sometime. I admire people with the gift of visual artistry!
ReplyDeleteHi Anne, thanks so much for liking my photo and for your comments. I also admire people with such artistic talents.
ReplyDeleteYou're very fortunate to be surrounded by beautiful paintings created by your daughter and grandmother. I think you should definitely give it a try.
Have a wonderful weekend.
