Street Painting – Florence, Italy


Cari Amici,

In honor of my sister-in-law Vicky’s birthday today, I painted a mermaid by JW Waterhouse as my street painting project on Via Calimala in Florence, Italy. This was my first time out as a madonnara since I accepted that I have influenza. I arrived about 1:30 p.m. and was rained out twice. The first time, my colleague Wilson convinced me to stay. And he was right.



Not only did the rain not last and my drawing dried back out relatively quickly and was mostly unharmed, but also several friends stopped by afterwards, making the day more enjoyable.

Alas, the second rain hit about 8 p.m. and this time we both packed up and went home. Allora, I did not finish this drawing, but there were not many people out tonight, so it was just as well that I only worked 7 hours or so.

Happy Birthday, Vic!
