Thanks so much, Susan! There’s a lot to see in Italy, wonderful art and beautiful palaces!

Barbara, thank you for sharing and your passion for history definitely deserved a journey to Florence!

Thank you, Claire! I also felt privileged and want to go back to look at the photos again and again.

Thank you, Joanna! It was a lovely time, especially in Florence. We also spent a couple of days in Rome. Truly a lot of ideas to implement!

Thanks, Jakki! I have many photos of Caravaggio’s painting, I saw some of them in Rome too. He truly is a master of light and shadows! I have started to take more photos of the details also in general as I have noticed that they work for recording ideas better than just looking at the whole painting.

Barbara, thank you! Botticelli’s work is so perfect in so many ways. Wonderful that you have been at Uffizi too!

Cindy, thank you! Yes, veils are really fascinating, go for it!

Thank you, Amy! Seeing world-class art is always an emotional experience. I have also wondered why Boccaccio Boccaccino created that painting but at Uffizi, I found out that it belonged to the collection of Leopoldo de Medici who wasn’t any regular art collector but who favored everything a bit different. So maybe Boccaccio saw his chance to get his work to Medici’s collection or maybe he got a commission from Leopoldo.

Thanks, Kathy!

Thank you, Joanne!

Thanks so much, Cassie! It feels so good to hear it!
