sunday funday

My Sunday line-up:

1. wake up early.
2. eat banana while walking over to the Soccer stadium with friends to by ticket for Fiorentina vs. Milan game tonight.
3. Trip on curb while throwing away banana peel, get laughed at by German tour group. Proceed to tell them that "I'm okay!" and curtsying.
4. Buy ticket, a sandwich, and a Fiorentina jersey.
5. Watch a guy crash into a curb while riding a Segway and eat it hard. Second time I've witnessed this in two days.
6. Go outside, sit in piazzas and draw the beautiful city I live in.
7. CALCIO PARTITA!!! (soccer game)

now I will leave you with this delightful video.

new artwork!

So I started a new series of paintings-- Le Portone Fiorentine--The Florentine Doors! 

Here are the first three.

Here are some pictures of my studio---it has been absolutely wonderful lately because I have been able to leave the windows open! 

sunshine makes me HAPPY

iced coffee while sitting on the steps of the Duomo...

relaxing on the shore of the Arno river...

and of course, blowing bubbles! 

Glad you finally showed up!

SPRING has sprung, ladies and gentlemen. Which means off with the PUFFY JACKETS SCARVES AND BOOTS (Italian people, I am talking to you!!) For some reason, they are still dressing like its snowing outside, and looking at us like we are crazy. 

Here's a question for the masses: what is it about the sun that makes it okay to eat excessive amounts of gelato?

I just started Mid-term week--I have one down and two more to go! We spent the weekend studying...on Kelsey's rooftop terrace...in our bathing suits...it's a rough life.

And in two weeks, MAMA PAPA PJ and Kelly are coming to Italy!!

non vedo l'ora.

(I can't wait!)
