Lenno, Varenna and Tremezzo

Somehow yesterday I missed posting this painting of Tremezzo's waterfront.

Next to explore was the town of Lenno which was further down the lake. I had some really pretty views.

With all the traveling I was doing by ferry I did some small thumbnails of some of the stops of the mid-lake ferry.

This was sketched along the promenade of Lenno.

I loved this Lenno building all covered with plants and foliage.

Each night in Varenna I would watch the sunsets. 

I enjoyed seeing the colors and the mountains in the distance.

In an unrelated part of the post...I need to share. One of the art associations I belong to, the Wet Paints Studio Group had their juried member's show over the weekend. My collage "Sunset" won first place in the mixed media category. It was done with washi oriental papers that I painted first with watercolors.

Tremezzo

The next town I visited on Lake Como was Tremezzo. It was a fairly quiet town with just a few shops and restaurants. It is home to Villa Carlotta which I didn't get to visit. I did walk down to a lovely park along the lake.

I painted part of this wall, but from the other side.

There was a beautiful fountain in the park.

I liked the wall with the foliage which was starting to turn red.

The church tower caught my eye.

While I was waiting for the ferry I sketched the salumeria across the way.

Tremezzo was pretty looking at it from the ferry.
