Here in the Tuscan countryside, lavender wisteria hums with bees. The olive trees are like twisted sculptures. The farmers plan with the eye in mind, meticulously mapping and planting in perfect rows and harmonies so the hillsides look like paintings.

Comments from Arthur Blumenthal's Student:
- "Just a note to express to you my sheer pleasure for your inspiring class ... I have been awed and changed by it! Not only do I "see" art in a richer, fuller way, but the class allowed me to validate my own impressions. Having to verbally express my reaction to a work of art engaged all my sensibilities. Thank you for transporting me from a viewer to one who "owns" Massimo Stanzione's painting of "Rest on the Flight into Egypt." You taught me to go beyond seeing to "entering" (internalizing) a masterpiece and experiencing its energy and deeper dimensions."

ART AND BEAUTY
- "For they (art and beauty) are not the thing itself; they are only the scent of a flower we have not found, the echo of a tune we have not heard, news from a country we have never visited." C. S. Lewis

How gorgeous--it reminds me of the wisteria we had at 502 in the side yard. I've never seen one as beautiful since.
I love reading the snippets of your trip accompanied by the photos.
Love, Moo
