I've been juggling different tasks and don't have helpers like owl who has the sheep helping to deliver the mails. By the way, this Sunday is Lucy's birthday 🐧🎂. Lucy loves to eat fish, loves Lake Como, classical music, and write funny little stories. 😄 (now she is feeling hungry; it's lunch time)

Autumn Scene
Walt Whitman

Lo, ’tis autumn,
Lo, where the trees, deeper green, yellower
redder,
Cool and sweeten Ohio’s villages with leaves
fluttering in the moderate wind,
Where apples ripe in the orchards hang and grapes
on the trellis’d vines...

Lakeside Harmony II – Lake Como, Italy
Limited Edition Art Print (7 only)
Size: 30″ × 21.4″

Available at denisewongarts.etsy.com

#LakeComo #Italy #ItalianLandscape #ComoLake #WatercolourArt #Painting #LargePrint #LandscapePainting #LimitedEditionPrint

Bathed in soft Mediterranean light, this watercolour painting captures the timeless charm of Italy’s northern lakeside of Lake Como. Gentle turquoise waters lead the viewer’s eye toward sunlit villas and cypress-lined gardens, where history and tranquility seem to meet. With delicate washes and harmonious tones, the artist Denise Wong evokes a peaceful afternoon by the water — where the air feels warm, the breeze carries the scent of flowers, and every brushstroke whispers calm.

The interplay between architectural detail and natural beauty reflects a quiet admiration for both structure and spontaneity. This painting invites viewers to pause, breathe, and wander for a moment within its stillness — a poetic escape into the heart of Lake Como.

This is Lucy the penguin 🐧. It’s very nice to meet her! Back then, she was just a penguin—she didn’t even have a name yet. I only recently gave her the name Lucy. Lucy is Toby’s best friend. Toby is a squirrel who loves to write letters, and he loves Lucy very much.
