Serenade, 街頭小曲

After visiting the National Art Gallery, we enjoyed the walk from Trafalgar Square to China Town in London.  It was a sunny and warm afternoon.  The streets were full of people who were mostly tourists or visitors.  This girl was serenading crowds with her violin.  I love to paint musicians with their instruments on my canvases and have done so many times.  The connection between music and art is just a beautiful thing and touches my heart.

Whispering 天鵝細語

It was a beautiful sunny day when we were boating on the lake in Luzern, Switzerland.  To my surprise there were so many swans swimming in such a big lake.  They were not afraid of people.  I saw one girl feeding the swans in her bare hands.   We bought some light lunch, sat by the lake watching the swans, and took in the breathtaking snow mountain in the distance.  Switzerland is such a beautiful country.  I would come back to visit in a heart beat.  I took a few photos and did this painting with two swans whispering.
