Default Pisa and Florence

After touring Pisa, the Uffizi and the Pitti Museums in Florence, and seeing the works of Raphael, Filippo Lippi, Titan, Leonardo da Vinci, Sandro Botticelli, Michelangelo, Ghirlandaio, Fra Angelico, Donatello, Cellini, and many more, I returned home to finish this painting of my dog.
With that eye opening trip, I have come to clearly understand that I will never be a painter of any great accomplishment.
I also now know the value of my life. According to a recent notice from the Italian Government, my wife can claim me as her dependent and will receive the sum of 9.75 Euro each month. I hope to spend it all on painting lessons, canvass, and wine. Here are a few pix from that trip.
Thank you for looking
