My workshop was filled with new friends and old friends. Everyone succeeded in painting and writing in their journals. I really don't like this after workshop feeling I get when I watch my students depart to their differing homes. It was so much fun to paint and travel with everyone.

IToday we traveled to Florence and spent the day visiting the Palazzo Strozza Museum, strolling the neighborhoods and enjoying the spectacular weather. I met the guy in the photo above, in front of the suffixing Museum. He was really nice and very smart but a little bit cold.
