Hello everyone! I've been a little busy the past summer. I went to Italy this summer with my school to earn my Art History 2 credit. To earn that credit, I also had to write a term paper and read a book on art history and write a page for every chapter on its content and I just turned it in on Monday. It was a three week trip and each week was in a different place. We started out in Rome, then went to Florence, Ravenna for a day and finally to Venice, my namesake. I think out of all the places we went to I loved Rome the most because at the time we hadn't been to as many galleries and it was the first week so we were all super excited. I also loved the people in Rome and we even got to see the Pope! Twice! Venice I would rate as the prettiest of places we saw because we also got Vaporetto passes to take us to the surrounding islands like Burano, Murano, Torchello, Lido, etc... If you don't know, Burano is where all the pretty colored houses are, Murano is where they make Venetian glass and Lido is where the beach is.
I have also started working downtown for my business again. I changed my location to 6th and Cleveland on the corner in front of LOCO Artisan Caffe. So far I've gotten really good responses to my new location and have had more than 10 commissions, 3 on the spot and the rest from photos.
Here are some photos from the trip and from some of the work I've done recently.
