well-read

I apologize for leaving you with the big bottomed woman painting for two weeks. Mine looks a little like that after being in Italy for ten days. Very worth it.
I took this photo in Siena, Italy. These two were doing a little last minute research. I took LOTS of photos but half of them had someone walking by and blocking my subject. A few other people were there visiting. I hope my friends got some good pictures of the historical sights because my pictures are mostly of people. (people walking in front of people) This is painted on a 10 x 10" gallery wrap canvas.
I am participating in the 48th annual Bluff Park Art Show this Saturday here in Birmingham. The weather is going to be sunny with temperatures in the 70's. What more could you ask for?sold
Ciao!
