Creation of Bronze Garden Sculpture

Dear Art Lover,

     Ok, I just finished one page about my new bronze sculpture "Rock Towers and Frogs."  It has a lot of images about the process I went through to create the piece and some of the foundry work.  I will have more in the next art newsletter that I am starting to write now.. after a wee break from the computer.  Thank you for your interest.  Please share this page if you enjoy it.  http://www.borsheimarts.com/sculpture/2016/RockTowersFrogGardenSculpture.htm

Peace,

Kelly

Tuscan Christmas Trees

Dear Art Lover,

     While Pescia is known in Italy, especially in Tuscany, for growing flowers and shipping worldwide, apparently the small village in Valleriana (the hills north of Pescia) called Castelvecchio is the home of Christmas trees.  Father and son team Renzo and Alfio Marchini grow the trees on various plots of land around Castelvecchio.  Renzo told me recently that not only are their trees shipped all over Italy, but also in Switzerland.  That surprised me, for I never imagined Switzerland having a lack of trees!

Alfio and father Renzo ship Christmas trees all over Italy and more.

     So, if you would like a happy tree that is freshly cut from the hills in Tuscany, contact Renzo or Alfio at (0039) 0572.40.00.86  Enjoy these selected images of the trees in their happy birthplace and the men who find them homes for their Christmas joy.  Vivaio Alberi di Natale!

Peace,

Kelly
