Dear Art-Loving Friend,
I am trying to prepare for my trip soon to Australia… I will be judging an art completion, teaching workshops, and much more for a couple of weeks in May during the Sarita Arts Festival, 25th anniversary… and then a sweet friend and I will be going to Tasmania.
So, I want to start working on landscape images. Just as my still-life studies are my attempts to get good at things in which I had previously little experience, my landscape works will lead, I hope, to larger and more complex compositions. In the tradition of artists ateliers, most professional artist had assistants specialize in certain parts of a whole paintings… but I want to do it all. Surprised? Hahah.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy these two pastel artworks. They came from a trip I took to visit a friend in Santa Margherita Ligure, on the northwestern coast of Italy. Several of us artists hiked to Portofino and I loved this grassy field we came upon during our hike.

On another topic, Easter (or Pasqua, as it is called here in Florence, Italy) is celebrated tomorrow. Several years ago, they changed the mass with the Blessing of the Relic to Saturday evening before Easter morning festivities. This is the post I wrote when I attended this mass years ago, with images, of course:

And here are some of my images of a past version of the fantastical (or as one of my British friends called it: Willy Wonka-ish) spectacle of the Explosion of the Cart, Florence’s Easter celebration:
