Giddy

blushing with delight to have some pics of me 
and all the wonderful people i met 




these were all taken on our last day 
during our 'show and tell' 

Italian Princes


the 3 paintings i completed while in Orvieto.
i love them,
and i love that i can notice Misty's influence
and the new skills she taught us. 

small acrylic on paper

big acrylic on paper

small acrylic on canvas

this last one went home to Utah with Lorraine
and that makes me so happy! 

El Duomo



it's impossible to talk about Orvieto without 
introducing the phenomenal El Duomo,
the 14th-century Roman Catholic cathedral. 

glance through the streets

It is flamboyant and breathtaking in its size and beauty... 


from above

apparently it took 300 years to complete, 
the interior is even more impressive... 



and of course i fell in love with the stripes on the outside, 
i had never seen a stripy cathedral before, 
how exquisite in the morning light!?




truly breathtaking. 

in the art room


this is what my table looked like on the first day in the art room, 
full of gifts and goodies, from Misty and also from other participants...

i felt welcomed and inspired straight away! 



the two photos below are from Camilla, (and her beautiful artwork in the foreground) 
as you can see i am looking pretty happy, in my element, loving it ;) 
(thank you Camilla for capturing it) 



Misty demonstrating



Camilla and John focused and learning


  
a little bit of play 



and back to work


we loved our art room, 
we even had some late nights painting/laughing/moth chasing sessions in there... 


enchanted

let me take you on a little virtual tour 
of my "Wandering with Passion" week in Orvieto


i'm struggling to put it into words, 
it feels that it might shatter the magic of it. 

i will simply say that the whole trip was AH-MAZING!!!
i met fantastic people from all over, 
Misty's sharing of her talents was incredible to witness live (as opposed to online).

this is all of us from the art group: 
at the back left to right: Diana, Robin, Rena, Renee, Lorraine
front left to right: Jeanne Marie (Flowrsinherhair), Dot, me, John, Camilla and Misty on our lap




i didn't get a pic where we all sat still so i stole this one below from Misty

this is the whole gang including husbands, moms, aunts and friends,
missing Bill and Kristin who put this whole week together so beautifully:



the whole experience is still sinking in, 
i came home inspired, thrilled and enchanted! 

Travels


i am back from my european travels, 
heart and soul full of amazing memories.

giving myself a little time to land gently. 
it's good to be home, to nest, to snuggle, to be. 

unpacking many memories, ideas, experiences, photos, goodies and emotions.  


thank you for being here, it's good to be back!

Ciao

today i am off to Italy 
Misty Mawn and a wonderful bunch of artists!

 ;)
