Painting LIttle things in France

My journal is a stack of watercolor paper, pencil, two erasers, a small travel size watercolor paint set, and two brushes, one fat one skinny.  My plan was to create as many paintings of France, Italy, and Spain as I could. The 40+ Illustrations in this book is the result. I stood where Van Gough stood and peered through his eyes.
