In case you were wondering …
how I’ve been spending my time – other than picking olives, and eating bruschetta drenched in green oil; I do sit down at my table to draw/paint/collage on a daily basis. Some pieces are purely invented, some are of actual places, and then there are those that fall somewhere in-between what exists in my head and what lies out in the streets below.
Italy continues to both inspire and confound me with all it’s chaos and contradictions. For example, though Christmas has become equally as commercial here as in the U.S. they still celebrate the immaculate conception of Mary with a national holiday. Who knew Jesus wasn’t the only one to be immaculately conceived?

Feliz navidad, joyeux noelle, happy holidays…peace.

Thanks Dan. We have just spruced up the apartment for the season with some pine branches and silliness. Sending you and the rest of the family warm wishes for the season.
