Thank you so much for visiting my blog. It was a fun sale. I have sold many things over the years marked Firenze. How clueless of me never to figure out that it was Florence...the home of all things beautiful in Italy.
Happy Monday and I love Rome and Venice, never got to Firenze, but Not it's a MUST SEE!! Merci a mille fois, Fifi!
Oh how I love Florence! The art, the people, the jewelry, the FOOD! Your interpretation of the Ponte Vecchio is stunning! Can't wait to see more!
Happy Blue Monday!

Fifi, You captured the Arno perfectly! And not only are the skies so blue, but the rooftops in tiles are such a pretty contrast. Thanks for taking us along. ~ Robyn
I have always adored David, no matter if he is the original (lukcy you) or a duplication he is fantastic.
Something about the nekkid body depicted "back then"...
I loved your met painting... scrumtious!!
Looking forward to the rest of the week...
TTFN~~
PS. Do I need to email you to get permission to add you to my bloglist?
HI FiFi !
I didn't know that there were several Davids......I learn something new all the time !
Pretty countryside and painting!
Hugs ~ Kammy
Nice pictures.
Happy Blue Monday.
My brother spent three months in Florence singing the lead in the opera Othello. We stayed with him for two weeks and it was fabulous. The Arno was lower then.. it was very hot and had been really dry. Love the area.
Oh how I love Firenze! I can't get enough of it! Great post, and delightful paintings/sketches!
What a fantastic journey your post has taken us on, just lovely.
Ah, sweet bliss. I wish I were there.
