Sketching at Summerhill

Sketching at Summerhill

Yesterday I hosted the April “Sketching at Summerhill” event here at my house in Ruff Creek, PA.

I wanted everyone to […]

You stop at a sidewalk cafe for a cappuccino and pull out your sketchbook to begin drawing an ancient stone building across the way. Sip…….look……..paint……..see.  This is the way we experience Tuscany, taking the time to meander and explore, or to […]

Fabulous Fattoria Bacio

Fabulous Fattoria Bacio

We’re happily ensconced at Fattoria Bacio now and loving every minute of our time in this beautiful place. The villa is perched on top of a hill, surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and hilltop homes. It couldn’t be prettier and the amount of visual stimulation for an artist is almost overwhelming!
