The hills are alive!!

Pictures! The first two take place at some ancient Roman ruins. Pose #1 is for OD, and pose #2 is for Bev! Love you, miss you. The ruins were very fun, we climbed on everything. So much, in fact that I did not have much time to draw. I really want to experience as much of this place as I can. Which is very difficult because there is so much to see. But I am loving every minute of it.

The second picture is of a new "amico" (friend) that we made while painting in a small hill town the other day. He came out of his house and invited us into his cellar/dining room/bar type room (it was below his house in a separate door). He was very enthusiastic and excited and offered us a drink of something that was very sweet and potent. Then he went back up to the main part of his house and brought out a chocolate cake thing with marshmallows and almonds as well as a fruity cake. Then he went back for some wine which we think was homemade because it was cloudy and tasted earthy. Now I know that you are not supposed to take food or candy from strangers but there were six of us together and one elderly man. Plus everyone told us that the people in this village were very nice and would probably do something like that. So kids, don't try this at home. (America is dangerous)

Everyday has been an adventure. I feel so blessed to have this experience. And I really think that it will help my art to grow and mature. I just can't stop being excited!!
