And More Winter Weather

Three days ago we had snow and lots of it.
Yesterday we enjoyed spring weather with temperatures in the 60's farenheit.
Today we have summer weather with temps in the 70's.
And tomorrow we expect snow!

Living in New England and Loving It!!
These are photos from February 18th in Massachusetts.

Mount Etna and The Greek Theater in Taormina, Sicily


I completed this painting sometime ago and just posted it today on Fine Art America.

Sicily is a favorite vacation destination. The sun, the food, the people. My grandfather grew up in the town of Pedara on the volcano, Mount Etna. I have some very sweet memories of my visits there.

New Orleans On My Mind

This Week is Mardi Gras!
New Orleans is known for its Mardi Gras citywide Celebation!
We have visited The Big Easy for the Jazz Festival on several occasions and so, when we gear up for Fat Tuesday, how can we not think of New Orleans?

A few snapshots from our visits.

Like cafe au lait and begnet, the muffuletta is a must for lunch in the French quarter.



One of the best breakfasts I have ever had was at Elizabeth's: a bowl of fresh cut fruit and an order of praline bacon with cafe au lait.


My dream home.

Blizzard at Coney Island

There is something apocalyptic about being at an ocean side amusement park at the height of a blizzard.
