Looks like a wonderful place to study - my wife saw the work there and wants to try to attend when she retires. I just learned about the Florence Academy.

Reminds me of the film the Draughtsman Contract. Funny how studio painters with a lot of experience have a hard time with landscape painting. It can't be the drawing, must be the change of light source and the way things are pitched so differently than in a controlled studio environment. The distances in a studio setting are very close when compared to out of doors as well. My old painting teacher (Frank Mason) always said one informed the other, but that landscape painting opened up the studio painting to more atmospheric affects. It also taught one how to deal with violets and blues. You lucky dogs.. the Corsini Gardens looks absolutely beautiful. Reminds me of the film the Draughtsman Contract.
