First day in Florence. Rain...

We went into Florence for the first time yesterday...It rained a lot, but it is beautiful. We also climbed up to the very top of 'Il Duomo' which is the Dome of the Florence Cathedral. It was 400+ steps up a spiral staircase...crazy...but the frescos were incredible up close...hope you enjoy!

Goodbye England, computer charger, and communication with the outside world...

I thought you would all like to hear my story...
or maybe I just think that I would like to tell it.

ACU booked my ticket from London to Italy for the WRONG DAY. No problem. So basically, I had to buy a new ticket, and wait on "stand by" or get on my flight 7 HOURS later than my groups flight. Thanfully, I made it on the groups flight, although my luggage did not. British Airways was so nice to give me a care package (sarcasm) which included a white T-shirt, the worlds smallest toothpaste, fit for an ant, and toothbrush...how sweet.
But not to worry! My luggage arrived at our door yesterday! It was a glorious occasion.

Europe also ate my computer charger...so I will be blogging less. Try not to cry. I will try my hardest to update as much as possible, but don't feel unloved if i neglect you!
This is where I live until June 30...Scandicci, Italy (a bus ride from Florence). Enjoy!

Another random old London shot.

Extremely random Europe travel pics that you haven't seen yet...?

the painting continues...

Here are two of the recent paintings...watercolor is hard. I don't really like the one of the three boats, it looks too much like a cartoon to me. But I thought I'd let you decide for yourself, and show you the good, the bad, and the ugly throughout this process. So, Enjoy!

Day trip to Bath!

Iffley. (right on the edge of Oxford)

London.

Here are a few shots from our day trip to London on Friday.

Sketchbook Update!

We have been going non-stop it seems since the Art group got here...Here are just a few from my sketchbook as we went around to different museums such as The Ashmolean, Oxford Modern, and in London we went to the Victoria & Albert Musuem, and the National Gallery of London. Hope you enjoy!
