Painting the town red? Well a few did, and all other colours possible. This Sunday saw the 5th edition of the painting competition 'Colori e Sapori' where artists come to Ponte a Serraglio to paint our beautiful little town in Northern Tuscany. They have between 8am and 4pm when the works are handed over for public display and judging in the Villa Fiori park.
I wish I had been in Bagni di Lucca for the art day on the weekend. Luckily, Caroline from Villa Rosalena was there and you can see the fun on her post, which I have reblogged here.
Thanks Debra! You were telling me about this event coming up. Looks like a huge success for the town. Maybe next year?

I liked the water-colour painting no. 40. I did a little water-colour sketch from your balcony one sunny morning, a poor rendition compared with the other paintings. Nevertheless, it was a fun experience. My daughter wants it framed!

I wish I could paint. The view from my balcony is wonderful.

I imagine, on account of the beautiful scenery, that painting in Bagna di Lucca must be a joy.

The event is organized by a local group of artists, Borgo Artisti. They do a great job.
