Cari Amici (Dear Friends),
Just a quick note to invite you to a short art lecture that I will be giving this Sunday around noon in Austin, Texas.
The topic is “My Life as One of the Madonnari (Street Painters in Italy)”
I will share images and stories of my experiences recreating art masterpieces from the Italian Renaissance and other periods of time and place. I will tell you some of the more humorous experiences with tourists, journalists, cops, and the Italian government. And, I will show you the work of many other street painters from my first competition in southern Italy.
The talk officially runs from noon until about 1:30 this Sunday. There will be at least one other speaker, artist Melanie Hickerson. I am looking forward to meeting her. I hope you will, too.
While you are there, check out the exhibit of over 65 artworks by artists in Austin’s groovin’ art scene.

P.S. We are still looking for a digital projector to help me easily display images from my Acer laptop. If you have one I may borrow, please contact me. Thank you.

Ah shucks, I won't be there. Hope you have a great day!!!!
Hi Jo,
The talk went great, although I spoke last of 12 artists! What a day. I will give this talk again in North Carolina, Raleigh, on 15 October. Details posted later. Thanks for the interest!
actually, I really admire people who are into this kind of art. Very creative and eye-catching as well. You really can't help yourself not to check out their painting.
Thanks, Port Douglas Hotels. Maybe I can paint out in your neighborhood some day!
