Our county has its share of winding mountain roads. They're like life -- You always wonder what's around the bend.

This painting is by Sue Beckett who is being taught how to enter a painting on the blog. She says, "Southern France holds many beautiful memories for me. Among them was visiting the Pope's Palace and seeing this enchanting bridge. This is one of two paintings I have done in pastel of the bridge."
This is a painting I did after returning home from a cruise and a side trip to Mount Dora, FL. Mount Dora is a quaint little town in central Florida. I love the clocks that so many little towns have added to the center of town. The clock no longer worked, but stopped at 5 o'clock.
