Winding Down

Winding down is such sweet sorrow.  The frenzy of painting, knowing the count down was on, produced a whirl of debris on the studio floor… and some on the walls.  Eat, paint, eat, paint, eat, drink, sleep. We’ve been a small group of 4 students and 2 teachers this week – so we were all run around the flag pole a few times.  Today was my last day of painting here.  I would love to produce something witty for you to read – but my brain is tired – so I will take the visual route.  Tomorrow is a day of cleaning, hanging a show, having a show, taking down the show, packing… and saying goodbye to this beautiful village at the top of a mountain, and the people that call it home.  The bus leaves Saturday at 5AM.  From the airport in Rome I will try to put words to the whole experience, if you can humor me with one last post – for this truly has been, my pleasure.

Hello Sweet….Your Grandmother Rose Giannotto would have been very proud of you… for your talent and also where you chose to paint (Carlo could be cousin Vito without the railroad hat!) And, your Grandmother Alice would have been equally delighted with your passion to paint…having had talent herself. Enjoyed your paintings, writings and all the comments. So, thanks to everyone!! Aunt Mary

Thanks for sharing your adventure with us (the world, really) So was Carlo talkative?

I like your 3 value painting too.
