As a final close to a wonderful painting/sketching trip through the Concord Art Association, I close with "Views from the Train" I sketched with ink and watercolor as our whole group took the train from Badesse to Firenze. The entire Tuscan trip was enriching, varied and I am certainly hopeful it was educational and a growing experience for all my painting students.
