Today marks the third year anniversary of my blog and my daily commitment to sketching and/or painting something everyday -- and so I take a momentary break in reports from Karlyn's workshops to celebration my three years of daily practice.
I painted this arch from a reference photo from Wet Canvas .. and it typifies the scenes and blogging subjects I tend to choose - landscapes, flora, Italy ....
Here is a link to my blog and first sketches - scroll to the bottom:

I've learned a lot in three years, made some incredible friends, and even met with and painted with many of them. It's been an awesome few years - with, I pray, more to come!
So today, I'd like to thank YOU once more for your incredible support and encouragement that have kept me on the blogging/painting path for over 1,000 days ... and most of all, for your unwaivering friendships and generosity ...
Here's to another 1,000 days ...
BACI, my friends, mille grazie!
