This is some local artist trying to make a few euros here in Florence, Italy; my heart is with these individuals as they pursue their passion to create and channel great art. If I new a little more Italian I would have asked to join them in their aesthetic pursuit. I think I might buy some pastels and do a little rendition of my own before leaving Florence.

Florence has been, thus far an amazing spiritual experience for a student of art like myself, from the speeding vespas, to the Galleria degli Uffizi, to the nicknames I have adorned--as being proclaimed: SCOUT. For my running ahead and behind checking out location and gathering all to share in this amazing adventure. We all are very thankful for this trip.

Next stop on Friday--Siene!

Ciao!
