Ciao from Italy~

I am visiting my sister and family in Italia

I love the frescoes on the buildings!

 I also love making art with my niece Sofia

maybe she will let me share her art in another post ~

for now I will share the art I find on buildings here

the painting at the top of this post.... I did in a Moleskine journal

I use to LOVE Moleskine Sketch journals

I hear: the Italian's sold the company to China,

though the paper looks similar, it is garbage! 

Any wet art supply and it warps like a wave in a storm. 

I will not buy another journal from them unless the makers improve the paper!

I simply wanted to share with you my experience with the paper.

Ciao my lovely art friends

Depth of Quiet

the depth of quiet

eternal

rich

sublime

so interesting to draw/paint her

as above, a meditative expression

and 

then to lay her this way:

she slept amongst the flowers

feeling the soil as her flesh

resting in the embrace of eternity

nourished in stillness sublime
