Back from Switzerland

Had a wonderful time in Switzerland, visiting my brother in Geneva. We did a lot of things, from going to the Tour de France, hiking near Chamonix, taking a cruise on Lac Leman to Chateau Chillon, visiting the beautiful town of Poschiavo and the amazing thermal baths at Vals.  I spent a lot of time trying out my new field work watercolor set.  Not sure if I am happy with the colors that it comes with so I may be making some adjustements to the set. I spent a couple of days in Geneva’s natural history museum which has a huge collection of birds and animals on display. Also I spent on day at home doing a finished painting of a peak which is near the Col de la Madeleine in France, near where we watched the Tour go by. I love how the alps are so huge and green on their lower slopes, and rocks and snowy on the top, amazing colors.
