We arrived yesterday at La Palazzina to a very unique greeting. There was a 500 Fiat rally convened around the circular driveway year, with tables of pecorino, salami, the Palazzina's olive oil. Little tiny cars with funny-sounding horns were being ogled by proud and jealous admirers and owners.
Billy was on the terrace painting the multi-colors of the 500s, while Laura was in a corner by the entrance to the property, painting this Fiat in gray. Billy said he had never painted so fast!
Laura doesn't paint cars, but didn't want to insult all these passionate car people by not painting a car and at the same time she knew she had to paint a decent-looking 500. She did. And Billy pleased all.
Most of the painters spent the afternoon sleeping off jetlag, relaxing or lounging by the pool. Remember: the last word of our website is vacation!
Later in the evening, before dinner, we met under the gazebo in the orchard to have an overview of the workshop, the week and the options. We heard a collections of goals for the week, all different, indicating all levels of experience - or lack of... Laura and Billy reminded us that this week will give all an opportunity to paint uninhibited by the family screaming for food or the blue shirt or trips to the grocery store or picking up the kids from baseball practice. The week is solely for the students' pleasure.
