Tuscan Hidden Garden

The reference picture was given to me by
a friend, who requested a pastel painting
of Tuscany. Tuscany is full of hills,
mountains and beautiful courtyards. I
especially love the old stone walkways
and archways leading into those magical
gardens.

    Really pretty. I'd love to actually go to Italy sometime. I bet It would be easy to come home with reference material to last years.

    People say that Tuscany is the most beautiful region of Italy, It must be true judging by this beautiful painting. I hope to go to Italy next month and test it.
