An artist need never be bored. All it takes is a surface to work on and something with which to make marks. The blank paper or canvas beckons. I define Art as the metaphors with which we share our unique experience of life. Thespianage suggests to me the drama played out in the world around us in every moment, and the act of standing apart and recording what we see and feel in a way that paradoxically connects us to others.

Okay, not a quick sketch, and not done on location, but "sketchy" enough for me to post here, and done with reference to the many sketches I've done in this beautiful place on a hillside looking out over the Valdichiana Valley. It's la Pietra, in Cortona, where you can join me for personal guided tours of Tuscany and your own individual painting workshops, tailored to your needs. Contact me for details.

This place looks wonderful John. Your sketch captures the warmth in the air and the smell of fresh cut grass. Mmmm :-)
