Where is this?
Hello Friends – we need your help please!
This beautiful painting is hanging in our cabin on board the Ruby Princess. Each evening as we get ready to drift off to sleep I find myself staring at it. I want to go THERE – trouble is, I don’t know where “there” is.
If you know the location, or even want to make a guess, we would love for you to leave a comment for us. Help us figure it out and we will try to add it to our 2017 travel itinerary.
Thanks for your input…
Gratitude Moment: Today I am grateful that I can have a dream, perhaps on a whimsy and can try to make it come true.
A Note From Abroad 
I would hazard a guess and say it’s Italy, lake garda south end, maybe Sirmione?
And yeah, go there, it’s beautiful 🙂

Good visual memory. People like me not only make some kind of art, but we are also big art fans. Or, in other words an art nerd. 🙂

Hi! It is the Italian Riviera… This is a print by Howard Beherens, and he has an extensive collection of them. Maybe you can find the precise place at http://www.howardbehrens.com. Best regards, Laura

Vivian, thank you so much for this link. I enjoyed seeing more of his work as well as this piece. I’m thinking it is sold out because Princess bought all of them and put one in each cabin 😃

I was hoping the scene was going to have come from someone’s imagination – because that’s a very good place to visit as well!

Hi Joanne & Tim, This painting by Howard Behrens is his impression taken from Lake Como and one of the many beautiful villages surrounding Lake Como called Bellagio, “The Pearl of Como”. It is located in northern Italy. Some links: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xx3lcAVyRLQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvMw-CrmWto

Hi Cousin and many thanks for the links! We had hoped to get to Lake Como in 2014 and never made it there. I think the stars (or at least the pictures) are trying to remind us to move it back up to, or near, the top of our wish list.

I would have guessed Lake Como, but see you already have that info. It does look lovely, and I hope you get to go there soon!

Lake Como. And if you haven’t been there, you definitely need to go. It’s one of our favorite places in Italy.

No, not Greece, too far south. Looks like Lake Cuomo in north Italy
