Just another WordPress.com weblog. Retrospective of Paintings pre-Italy. Assisi and Perugia →. June 23, 2009. Last minute decision to jump a bus to Rome, no reservations,. Just a knapsack with toothbrush, undies, camera, a few Euro’s and a Fodor’s. Sweltering, blistering, baking: walking to see what I could see. Scalinatella di Spanga- descend where Standhal, Honore de Balzac, Byron, dukes, dignitaries and popes have stood. Fontana della Barcaccia gives fresh water at the base. Make no eye contact, do no...

Just another WordPress.com weblog. Retrospective of Paintings pre-Italy. Roma Part Two →. June 21, 2009. Perhaps the greatest collection of Western art, particularly of the Renaissance, is housed in Florence. All of the great masters from ancient Greeks and Romans up to late Renaissance; some Northern European masters and beyond are there in rich abundance. Smaller, more compact and less hilly than Rome, we were able to cover many museums in a day. Next stop- I went and bought sneakers! Next came the Gal...

Just another WordPress.com weblog. Retrospective of Paintings pre-Italy. Monte Castello day 4. Sienna June 4 →. May 30, 2009. Roma, non basta una vita ; Rome, a lifetime is not enough. Enter the Vatican. My chest swells, throat constricts and I cannot speak. At last we flow into the great hall. Four years to paint 12,000 square feet with 343 frescoed figures. I struggle with tears. Il mio cuore parla con il mio marito: Arriviamo qui! Con coraggio si arriva ovunque! Michelangelo, the master, is there with...

Final Student Art Show | Artist51's Weblog
https://artist51.wordpress.com/2009/07/12/final-student-art-show
Just another WordPress.com weblog. Retrospective of Paintings pre-Italy. Finding Ken in Orvieto. Final Student Art Show. July 12, 2009. Second Student Show and Final Farewell. So, we had our second show. It was awesome- to stand back and see all we had created. It took lots of hard work, long hours, a willingness to throw away. All we thought we knew, a suspension of who we were,. A letting go of ego, bad habits, rules , preconceptions. Lots of lost sleep, lots of trips to the art store to buy more,.

Just another WordPress.com weblog. Retrospective of Paintings pre-Italy. Student Show →. June 12, 2009. Arezzo, Monterchi, Sanseolcro. Tuscan rolling hillsides, Valtibernia Mountain, valley of the Tiber River, we travel via La Scheggia pass. Fields of olive trees, wine vineyards, sea of golden grasses. Ancient stone houses: ocher, sienna, coral, rosa- all with terra cotta tiled roofs. Hilltops crowned with castle walls, watch towers, church spires, dome of the Duomo.
