What country are you from?

Voy Kay

Lilikins Unfortunately .... I meant every word of it. I truly dislike my country since ages and if it were not for wife and kid, I would've fled out of it already long time ago!

I am from the same country the almighty creator of twoinchbrush.com @Felix is from. It’s called Austria and I haven’t seen any kangaroos yet. 😮

I do so love our lakes and lighthouses 🙂

I visited Germany, Austria, and France when I was a teenager and I adored Austria. My host family lived in this ridiculously lovely hillside village with a mountain view in their backyard. I really want to visit again someday. Also if you do find that kangaroo...you might want to stop eating random mushrooms that you find 😂

I am a citizen of the world--though my passport says American. 😐

Addendum: I should mention I'm from California but live in upstate New York, the part with cows 'n' sows.

Born in San Francisco and living in Southern California for now. Though there has been great lakes and lighthouses in my past 🙂

England. I've just recently moved from the east coast to the west coast and I'm right by the sea, love it. I have beautiful panoramic sea views, magnificent skies and sunsets, and also lakes surrounded by rolling hills. It's an artists delight, and very inspirational. Not sure it makes me a better painter though:

Felix

TheLandscapePainter The important thing is not that being in such an atmosphere makes you a better painter, but that being a painter makes you appreciate your surroundings more! 😊

TheLandscapePainter

Felix You are spot on there Felix. I have always loved skies and I have often said that if I was a photographer or an artist then skies would be my subject. I am so happy to have moved to this place. I have some wonderful photos on my phone recently taken in the evening from my window, the cloud formations and the colours are amazing, and I've just had the idea of doing a painting of just the sky. I might not be able to do it justice but it will fulfill a lifetime wish. Bob Ross, thank you!

Quebec, Canada over here.

lightsnow Quebec? awesome.. my family hails from Quebec in the late 1800s

Ian_Adkins

lightsnow My wife's maternal grandparents were from Quebec. Malheureusement, moi de California, je connais plus de mots français qu'elle. 😄

lightsnow

wybnormal That's interesting. My grandmother once showed me a family tree she had that dated all the way back to the 1600s when people started coming over here from France. How did your family make the transition from QC to California? It could not possibly have been the weather 😉

I am from what we "affectionately" call the armpit of California (United States). I have lived in several places in the US, but found myself back here about fifteen years ago.

Ian_Adkins

doggymommee8301 Fresno? Needles? Hemet? When you say armpit, there's a lot of possibilities. 😀 Still, I'll take the dustiest backwater in California over the rustiest backwater in New York. It's just that my New Yorker wife is fond of this state. 🙄

doggymommee8301

Ian_Adkins Lol, all of those are quite accurate. About two hours north of Fresno.

lightsnow We started in Southern France/Basque/Border.. then to Quebec in the late1600s-early 1700s.. in the 1800s, a few crossed over to VT/NH and then down to MA. From there, the family spread to midwest and California. The paperwork I've been able to find shows farmers, machinists and mechanics all listed for trades. So I'm assuming they were following the jobs.

I live in Port St Lucie Florida. Hot and muggy in the summers and very rainy every afternoon. Sometimes it makes u wonder why they call it the sunshine state? Then the winter gets here!! About 3 days of cold weather and then summer is back on.. No mountains in south Florida except for the ones created by the amount of garbage our counties produce. I guess this is why my mountains look like garbage and my happy little trees like garbage bags. Lol.
