My husband and I just got back from an incredible, once in a life time trip!  Those of you who follow my blog know that we love to travel.  So, to celebrate our birthdays and 30th anniversary, we decided to take a trip.  Peter wanted to go on a transatlantic crossing and I wanted to go to Italy for 3 weeks.  Since relationships need a lot of compromising, we did both!  I posted off and on during the trip as we had internet access and time, and will try to catch up with more paintings and trip photos.

This was one of five coffee makers in the apartment we rented in Lido in Venice.  (We found the apartment on VRBO, vacation rental by owner).  I loved the colors and reflections of all the coffee makers.  And, got to love European coffee!

We rented the upstairs apartment.  Lido is a beautiful island in Venice.  We liked having a bit of peace and quiet after the crowds across the water.

Loved all of the beautiful reflections in the Venetian canals.

Everything in Venice has to be delivered and picked up by boat.

Hilda, thank you! I really loved painting the coffee pot. wish I'd had time to paint some of the others.

Thank you Nancy. I'll be painting from these photos for a long time!!

Karen, So glad you like the photos. Thank you.

Thank you Marian! It took awhile to get used to making coffee in that pot. You have to change and refill it often if you want several cups for several people!

Happy birthdays and anniversary then, Pam. You two know how to celebrate in style. Love that apartment building. I don't know why but this painting is a new favorite of mine. I love that old timey feel to this coffee maker.

I was attracted to that great study in neutrals with your coffee pot and it led to the wonderful Venice photos.
What a wonderful way to celebrate an anniversary.
