Villa Grounds

Here we are trying to capture the essence of Tuscany with our cameras. A camera can only capture a portion of the magnificent scenes.

The apartment we stayed was in back of the villa. There were 10 of us with several private bedrooms and 4 baths. The kitchen was quaint and several participants prepared the evening meal and we all sat around the dining room table to share the events of the day.












The five day workshop was truly an awesome experience for both students and Trish and I as teachers. The mornings were devoted to plein aire painting on the beautiful villa's property with Trish and in the afternoon I taught creative writing and painting on the porch of our apartment. The panoramic view was
an experience etched in my memory.
