This is a series of "Fauve"  sepia ink and watercolour paintings of the Swiss Alps, Engadin Valley.

My wife, Seraina'(s) Grandfather, Turo Pedretti,  is a renown Fauve painter who lived in the Engadin Valley, Switzerland for a little

over the first half of the 20th Century.  This group of paintings is inspired by Turo's works.  He loved this Valley, and his life of 

painting, hunting and fly fishing that is the subject of many of his colorful Fauve paintings.  We spend time with the family in

the house where Turo lived and painted during winter and summer holidays.  I enjoy seeing his paintings, and also greatly 

enjoy fly fishing in the Inn River, and the many lakes that sit in the valley floor.
