Captured summer memories of Sicily

I'm enjoying a good cup of coffee and appreciating my vivid and warm summer memories. Portland just went from fall to cold winter today. In busy days like these it is encouraging to look back at days of discovery, family and fun! These photos are from Cefalu, Sicily. I am not a photographer, I still wanted to share pieces of my amazing trip this past summer. Where ever you are, I hope you'll have a fabulous day!

Captured: a photo marathon!

During these days of wind, rain and darkness (as well as buckets and tons of work) I find great inspiration in looking at the photographs I took last summer. It brings sunshine into my day and makes me smile. Therefore, I have decided to share some of my own favorite photographs from the summer of 2012. I aim to post a few every day of this week. I will start of with the trip I took to Cefalu, Sicily, Italy. For more images of the beautiful Sicilian landscape, check in tomorrow. Let the marathon begin! Ready, set, go.

Duomo di Cefalu

This summer I went on a two week vacation to Sicily, Italy. I had such a wonderful time and found a lot of inspiration for future art projects. This is a drawing I did in my sketchbook of a mosaic inside the Duomo di Cefalu, while I was there. The color was added later.
