Italy 2013 Day 2

Margaret Egli-Thomson did her demo to a large audience and then we had lunch.  Lunch was about 8 Euros plus wine. Some attendees painted in the afternoon. I set up and started a landscape of the local ruin,  hillside and town. Dinner was great and Sandy arrived by late afternoon by plane, train, bus and taxi. We discovered that our Venice room arrangements probably won't work out and we couldn't get the wifi to work so don't have anything yet.

Dessert anyone?

The dining area for our group of about 40 people.

The local ruin.  The dirt/rocks here are balalt, a white material like limestone.  Water carved out the hillsides.

The idea for my landscape.  Eventually I chose to do it with a sunrise lighting effect.  Note the patterns on the hills.

The gathering place overlooking the town below, also the outside breakfast area.
