    Great fun Sandi. I am so grateful to have one of your paintings from Cefalu. It’s up, framed and I see it every day. Great memories. Can’t wait to see your paintings from Maine next ❤

  7. @eileenhoney6426

    Fabulous colors! Can’t believe how many paintings you’ve done from the trip. I would love to have seen some of the other artist’s visions of the same things you painted. Great video!

  8. @tkikpar4882

    I love ALL your videos ,but these are my favorite!!👏
    Beautiful work.
    Why are the ETCHR sketchbooks your absolute favorite?
    Just curious.😊

  9. @EWebs2010

    What a great trip. Thanks for sharing. Love how there is so much feeling in each painting. Appreciate all your videos.

  16. @redandpink219

    What a feast! And so many! I love the palette, the bits of purple creeping in and hearing about your process and thoughts. I am full of admiration for your talent and work. As always, I look forward to what is next!

  19. @jenninemidkiff783

    I absolutely loved seeing your paintings! I love your style and your color palette. It was so wonderful to see so many works in one video. ❤ Thanks for sharing. 😊

    It’s the little things…that obviously took a lot of thought and work…the light on the windows…the way the light hits the highlights on the Jeep…I’m only 11 minutes in……the lady…the man had an affair…the chopped off head…omg….im in it…I’m in it!! Ok further in now….past the planter pot heads lol…please consider a zine of some of these sketches, because I want one of everything! ….Like Mel does of her work? Ya know? Would you ever consider that?

  22. @JoAnneSmith-di8ok

    This was great! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful paintings. You have so many wonderful memories captured here. I love it! 😊❤❤

  24. @zoewhite7705

    Wow, what a lot of beautiful work. The landscape at 14.06 might be my favourite thing you’ve ever painted, there is so much movement and energy in the composition, and i think a slightly different colour palette than you usually use. I love the olive tree in the foreground, and the peachy pink colours against the blue sky and olive green leaves. STUNNING.

  26. @andromedablue

    It's so interesting to see how your colour palette shifted towards mediterranean colour palette, very joyful paintings.

  29. @gwenritch

    Absolutely love these pieces. You captured so many memories! How special. Thanks for the beautiful video!

    Hi Sandi, at 2:36 : Cefalù is pronounced with the same "ch" sound as chair, or cheers. In English it would be spelled Chefalù I suppose. Greetings from Venezia 🤗

  34. @vanessahughes7153

    loved to see your progression with your work, from the sketches to beautiful abstract landscapes. The colours are stunning, you were obviously very inspired.

  35. @mariac4602

    Those paintings you showed when you were actually at the retreat center are fantastic-the colors are absolutely amazing, there is enough realism, for example fan and hanging lights, and the pic at minutes 14:15 was just stunning!!! There is such life and movement in that one. And then the one Grady grabbed for himself! That's my other favorite 🙂

  37. @ValentinaTheArtist-jy2eu

    Hi Sandi! I'm very happy that you had fun in Italy and that you created these beautiful paintings! The colors are wonderful, very vibrant! They are all beautiful but I was most fascinated by the painting at minute 30:20!😍🎨 Soooo beautiful! 👏👏Thank you Sandi for your beautiful videos, they are inspiring and your studio is beautiful, I love it!! 😍🎨🖌️ Hi Sandi, a big greeting from Italy! Ciao! 👋😄🇮🇹
