This is the final "Going Home". The image is still squatty. Hmmm? Pastel on Belgium Mist Kitty Wallis sanded paper.

I hope this is the corrected cat; Poor thing has been sitting in this basket for too long. She is free to go now.

This Cortona, Italy alley was very difficult to climb; yet, residents lived all along the steps. I took many reference photos of this interesting place. The actual painting is taller and seems more narrow than this photo. We will have to adjust that.

Ideas for titles are welcome: Going Up.... or Up, Up and Home....???

this is a "tuscany rooftops" in process

Our last night in Cortona, we were treated to a special event. It began with a parade, drums and trumpets, to introduce the guilds (neighborhoods) participating in the flag throwing contests. All were dressed in medieval costume. It was spectacular.

Can she see it now????

I was minding my own business in the art room yesterday when my "friend" Susan snapped this picture. We laugh a lot on thursday afternoons.
