Well, I finally signed up for an art class at Accademia D'Arte. I showed up for drawing class and my first assignment was to sketch a model, not a miniature kind of model, but a human being. A male figure,....... a model with no clothes on. It was a little weird, but at least he covered himself up with his hands. Not like all the statues around Florence with full exposure. These manly sculptures have their hands in all sorts of poses like a fist in the air, or a hand on a sword, but none of them cover up their private bits.
My next sketch was less daring. I stuck to my tried and true subject,..... architecture. It is a view of the Duomo - Brunelleschi's dome and Giotto's campanile (belltower).
We just got a phone call from friends, Ray and Stef Tetzel. They are in Florence with their kids for a few days. So, I'll have to sign off, as we are walking out the door to go meet them at Piazza Santa Trinita. Ciao.
