Brightly coloured houses/villas

[pitstopbunny]

I want to start painting again and would love to paint a scene of some brightly/multicoloured houses/villas or really stunning beach houses. On your travels where have you seen such places, I'm guessing somewhere like the Caribbean. If so, where and any links would be wonderful! Even some really good coloured beach huts!! Many thanks x

I dont have links to offer but certainly in Greece the houses are very picturesque and colourful.
Or what about Tobermory - have you seen the childrens programme - Balamory??

Two places spring to mind:-

1) Lo Boca, Buenos Aires, Argentina

2) Puerto Eden, Chile

The only way of getting to Puerto Eden is to get the Navimag ferry (http://www.navimag.com/english.asp) from Puerto Montt to Pureto Natales, and it stops at Puerto Eden on its way down.

Go to either and you'll have a very memorable holiday.

Lo Boca is exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for! thanks.

On the island of Burano, next to Venice. The whole city of Florence has beautiful colour and light. Mostly ochres.
