It sounds like we have a lot of similar interests. What are some of your favorites: artists, travel spots, books, recipes, etc.?

I asked myself "Why don't I attempt to create a dialog with all of the other people who have "art" as one of their tags?" Though not knowing where the move might take me, I felt that the tag alone was reason enough to become a fan of yours. Essex

Thanks for stopping by my gallery. People who enjoy art do have something in common whether they produce it or not. Speaking of art, there HAS to be a story behind your avatar photo. Was that sculpture something you happened upon in your travels?

Hey, I recognize your photo. . . Isn't that the statue in Boboli Park? I went there!

I really enjoyed Florence myself, but there were a lot of other beautiful places in central Italy/ Toscana that I like quite a bit as well. Did you go to Siena, Assisi, Civitavecchio, or Orvieto?

If not, you should consider adding them to your next Italian trip.

Happy New Year to all of you "art interest" people I'm a fan of. Perhaps our paths will cross at an art event in 2008. Perhaps in '08 there will be a loosely organized gathering of the indy.com arts community at an event or gallery walk. If so, or not, have a good one either way. Cheers!
