Umbria, Italy 2010

My trip to the Umbria region of Italy was great! Fourteen artist from all over the US and one from Finland met at Rome's airport and were bussed to La Romita in Terni (fifth miles north of rome and 100 miles south of Florence) every day we were fed and then bussed to another beautiful town, including Assissi and Perugia among many other smaller places. It was fourteen busy days.

After a wonderful trip to Italy in April 2008 I returned home and started doing some small watercolor and gouache paintings. I had purchased two miniature paintings in Florence and wanted to try to my hand at them.

In April 2008 22 artists and I travelled to Italy, landing in Piza, going by bus to Siena, and then
on to Florence for 5 days and nights. We then took the train to Venice where we stayed for
5 days and nights. What a wonderful time we all had".
