But I do get to see sooooo much! He is such a great tour guide. We walked over 21000 steps over 9 miles. Climbed the Camanili tower part of the Duomo (414 steps up), visited the Uffizi Museum, Santo Spirito Church (Michaelangelos first sculpture at age 18), Santa Maria del Carmen church, Boboli Gardens of the Piti Palace, Walked the Ponte Vecchio, saw the Piazzale Michaelangelo, San Salvatore Alemonte Church. Finally we sat to eat next to Santa Croce Church (where Michangelo is buried) to eat dinner at IL Francesdano Trattatoria. And this is all I could draw. I’ll add to it tomorrow after all that we have planned!!!! We will meet up with everyone at the Florence train station and head to SanFedele and the Workshop begins!

“Tiny Tropical Treasures” will showcase the artwork that I created while on a tropical island in Brazil this spring. I was chosen to be an Artist in Residence at Casa Na Ilha on the island of Ilhabela off Sao Paulo, Brazil. This is my second Artist in Residency in the past two years and I hope to make this a regular habit. I traveled through the island with my pens, watercolors and many sketchbooks. Some sketchbooks are handmade. Some are concertina folded. All are small. The beauty and culture of the island life have been carefully and creatively recorded. From the tropical gardens, the ocean, wildlife and a beautiful island home with my artist friends, you will enjoy Ilhabela Island vicariously through my Tiny Tropical Treasures exhibit.<br /><br /> The sketchbooks are creatively displayed in Gallery 5 so you can experience each day as I experienced it. Each day is a treasure to be revealed.<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I hope to see you there!<br />Marni<br /><a href="http://www.marnimaree.com/">www.marnimaree.com</a></div>
