Italy Photos I: Summer 2007

I usually don't publish photos on my website but I can't resist showing the beautiful shots I took while in Italy this summer during the New York Studio School's Orvieto Drawing Marathon in Orvieto, Italy. Be sure check out some of the art that I did there on my previous post.

It's hard to paint or photograph Italy without dipping into the sentimental. I tried to resist the romantic but you be the judge. Please click on the images to enlarge.
