For being an uneventful town, I have to say that last night was a pretty awesome night. First of all, we went for a walk just to get out. We came across a chorus singing in the piazza, we got back stage to a private concert that was being held in the “smallest theater in the world,” and then we were serenaded by the same band later in the cafe piazza. It was fun. They were great, we had a good Saturday night, and now we can greet the week ahead of us with some inspiration.
Today I felt like painting in green and yellow, so I confronted the Twins with full force and finished them! I saw this sculpture at the top of a fountain in Perugia and fell in love with the strange connection of their arms. I see them as mirror images of one another, but they reflect each others opposite attributes. I think I should subtitle this “The Dorks.” :P
I Gemelli (The Twins), oil on canvas, 9-18-11I’m taking my time with my classical piece, but I did manage to add some color to it today. I had to stare at it for a good 20 minutes before I had any ideas pop into my mind, but I think I have an idea of where this piece will take me :)
Il Cielo, oil on canvasTonight we wandered around some and we came across this restaurant that had live music (and the entire town was there). I have to say, when I first heard the live band (which had a large and small accordian as the main instruments on stage) I was relatively shocked at the lameness. BUT, a nice older gentleman asked me to dance and I got my Polka on...it was funny, and actually kind of fun, but I don’t think I’ll be dancing the polka again any time soon. It was a good night. :)
