Oh Europe -- you are calling

View from our apartment terrace when
we stayed in Florence the first time
I exhibited at the Florence Biennale.
There was a church right against
our building, and that's the Duomo
in the distance.

If you're an artist and can possibly do it, I highly recommend exhibiting

in Europe.  I have been in shows in Italy (Florence), France (Paris)
and The Netherlands (Drimmelin).  And if you can visit the place

where you're exhibiting all the better.  In fact as important as it is,

the exhibition fades into the excitement of being where you are and

learning new things every minute.

I am eager to go back to Paris, would love to visit my friend in the
Netherlands, and Florence was spectacular.  Tonight after a good day
in the studio, these ideas are on my mind, and making me happy.
The most wonderful gifts you get from these delightful experiences
are amazing friendships that continue even when you live across 
oceans.

Have a loving your life day!
