My husband and I wound our way around mountain-hugging roads to make a dream destination come true and see the Italian Lakes. Lake Maggiore and Lake Como took my breath away! Maggiore felt like I was sitting in a fairytale landscape with the Borromean Islands dotting the landscape like little kingdoms. Lake Como exuded elegant glamour and rich history. Every sense felt alive to their ethereal beauty, and the blue of water, sky and mountains dissolving into each other, was all encompassing. We felt so lucky to be there and I loved celebrating these beautiful landscapes in paint. Leila x
