Mount Etna and The Greek Theater in Taormina, Sicily

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

Happy New Year!

Jigsaw Puzzles, Photography and Road Trips occupy my time these days. I paint in oil and use pastels in my drawing. I am sharing my work and adventures on this blog.

I am concentrating on my photography with my Olympus SLR and my Samsung s7 Edge, working in Photoshop on my desktop, and Snapseed on my phone and Lightroom on my iPad. I give you my Best Nine on Instagram from 2017:
