alberta boato, a fellow artist (whose work appears at FFA) liked my work and sent me several of her photographs to work on with my techniques of photo montage and digital painting, and this is one: it shows a rocky coast of one of the lakes in northern italy, como or maggiori perhaps. adjacent to the rocks is a small beach where people are frolicking, and there is a waterfall and a couple of passing gulls. alberta's painted rendering of this photo is gorgeous and appears here: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/on-this-shore-alberta-boato.html
