Missing Florence

A fruit market we passed
walking to the church of
Santa Maria Novella
where many Medicis are
buried in Florence, Italy.

Today was the opening of the Let's Play show on all summer at the Heliconian
Hall, 35 Hazelton Ave. in Toronto.  It's a beautiful show, and I have eight 
pieces in the exhibition.  But here's the thing.  I had so much fun talking to
guests that I neglected to take any photos of the work.  Plus before the show
drop off I was painting 24/7.

So. One of the things more than one guest and I talked about was Florence,
and scrolling through my blog I saw this beautiful photo which reminded
me so much of being there. Such an amazing city.

It's movie night again, and we just finished dinner. Here's what I wrote
when I first showed you the photo above:

"The first time I showed in Italy at the Florence Biennale, was
one of the most exciting times in my art career.  True I was
showing three portraits, and people didn't seem to
understand why, but it didn't matter.  It was the most fun.
And the city was so beautiful, so moving, so rich in art,
fabulous food, wonderful people.

I'm putting on this photo of a fruit market near the
church of Santa Maria Novella.  Florence was an
endless visual treat."

Have a loving your life day!
