Ireland and Paris

Toni and I are back in the states after our whirl-wind week in Paris and Ireland. First, we we're in Dublin for a couple days. We visited the Malahide Castle, we ate fish and chips at a local pub, and had a great time exploring the country side.

Next, we went to Paris, France. We spent three days exploring the Eiffle Tower, The Arc de Triumph, and the Museums. The Museum de Orssay, which is a more contemporary art museum then the Louve, and Le Museum de Natural History, which was like a step back in time to 18th Century Paris.

Here are a couple of pictures.

And...another one

Here is another in a series of paintings I've done lately in water color. This one is of Lilo and Stitch at the beach.

Again with the Disney Pictures?

Yes, I've been one inspired painter these past days. Here is another Disney inspired picture I've made. The Maleficent Picture was inspired by my resent Disney trip, and also the trailer for the new movie!! Click on the picture to get a good look!

I'm prepping to some day decorate a room full of Disney pictures!

Disney Painting (Again)!

Hi all. Now that I'm back from Disney, I've begun my annual Disney painting marathon. First picture is done. I thought I'd show a few in the works photos! Here they are. Click on a picture to make it bigger!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Top O' the morning. Tis' me greatest hope, that ye all have a wee bit o' fun on such a beautiful day! The weatherman here, claims it will be a balmy 32 degrees today, and me hope is, the green will soon be seen from under this blanket of white!

So raise a glass me boy-o; and celebrate St. Paddy's day! But don't be drinking no green beer!
Parrish the thought!

Florida report

Hello faithful readers, Pat here with a sunny report on the Florida trip. The week flew by so fast, but a wonderful time was had by all. We arrived Saturday afternoon in Orlando, and once we picked up our rental car, we were off to the house we rented for the week. A quick stop for food and provisions, and we settled by the pool for a quick swim, ate and had a refreshing adult beverage, then off to bed.

Sunday, Toni and I were up early and drove down to Venice, to visit with my folks. They are doing well, and miss everyone, (BUT THEY DO NOT MISS THE SNOW)!

Monday, was my birthday and I spent it at the nicest place on Earth with my pal, Mickey Mouse.
Also had dinner with Uncle Doug and Aunt Christine! (Bonus!)

The rest of the week was grand... Amusement parks, NASA, and just visiting by the pool. We are back now, and like everyone else, sick of winter. But we had a fabulous week, so I won't complain, (Much)!

Here are a few pictures that capture the week.
