It's been so long since I posted something, and now I have too much information! Spoleto was hot, tiring, and great fun. For an economy that is hurting, there were plenty of people out there buying what's important - paintings! Thanks to everyone for visiting and adding to their collections.

Italy - what can I say but "Bellissimo!" Another year of great people, memories and fabulous food. Il Chiostro is the group out of NYC that sponsors the Tuscany and Venice trips and they spoil us all rotten with all of their unique and wonderful dishes. Favorite this year - gelato with chocolate and almaretto cherries for dessert...YUM!

And Rome. I absolutely fell in love with the city. Stinkin hot, but Samantha, Angie Canady and myself walked the entire city for two days and marveled at the architecture, paintings and statues. Saint Peters was truly awesome.

Need to get myself organized this week, get ready for the show at Ella Richardson's gallery July 11th. Once I download some photos I'll post the Florence Academy of Art ones - that deserves a posting all on it's own

ciao
