    1. Hello Celia!
      So very nice to hear from you again buddy! So very nice!
      It was a fun exhibit! So very happy to see Martine Alison's work in person as well as Susan Smolensky's! Both very talented and very creative artists! I know you will love Susan's blog! Her work is so well done! Very colorful, unique, creative, and so much more! You have a wonderful week also! Pretty soon Thanksgiving will be here! Will you be making a turkey in Rome? Watch American football all day! And certainly give thanks for so much! (I have so much to be thankful for! This art blog thing is one of the many things I am thankful for!)
      Ciao!
      Grazie!
      Your Roma Loving Art Buddy!

    1. Linda! I so wish you could have been there! Can you imagine how great it would be if all our "blogging art buddies" could gather in one place for a day! How much fun would that be! The exhibit was great! So much art! I got museum fatigue! Needed to rest my eyes often! It was wonderful being so close to Susan's art and Martine's! Both bloggers and great artists!
      Thank you for visiting and writing Linda! I so appreciate it!
      Take care buddy and keep on painting and writing!

  3. Michael, what a wonderful event to attend in a very characterful venue. It's a great photo of you both in front of the paintings! How special to see Susan and Martine's work - they are both very inspiring artists. Were they attending the event in person and if so were you able to meet them?
    Would love to have been able to go too!
    Have a great week!!

    1. Hi Wendy! It was wonderful to be at that venue! The building itself was a wonderful work of art! So much history! (If you are interested google "Boston Cyclorama!" Very, very interesting. The inside was fantastic! It has a huge domed ceiling! At the time it was first built it was one of the biggest domed ceiling in the US! I took a photo of the inside of the dome. I will post soon!
      It was a thrill to be so close to Susan's work as well as Martine's! Fascinating how art blogging brought so many of us together! I am always amazed and happy about that! Neither one attended the event! That would have been off the charts amazing! Would have loved for you to have been there! Imagine "USA cobber meets Australian cobber!" Very cool and newsworthy event!
      You have a great week also mate!

    1. Hi Hilda! We had a ball! I so wish you could have joined us also! I mentioned to Linda, imagine if all these art blogging buddies got together for a day!
      What a day that would be!!! Seeing the paintings in person was a thrill. I was like a kid in a candy store! Yippee is what came to mind!
      Take care Hilda and thanks again!

  8. Ciao Michael,
    i tuoi reportage sulle mostre che vedi sono sempre molto simpatici e interessanti.
    Sono andata anche a vedere i tuoi ultimi lavori e ritrovo l'atmosfera particolare che sai dare sempre.
    Io mi sono un po' impigrita con il blog, ma riesco comunque a pubblicare parte dei lavori che faccio e a vedere quelli degli altri. Ci metto invece molto tempo a commentare e quindi, anche se non mi senti per un po', sai che io guardo tutto.
    Ciao, abbracci, Floriana
    p.s. spero che il traduttore funzioni bene. Ciao

    1. Ciao to you also Floriana!
      Always so very happy to see your name in the comment form! The art show in Boston was fantastic! I am so very fortunate to live near the city and was able to see it! I know what you mean about making time to visit the art blogs and writing comments! I too have to make an effort to keep up with all our many wonderful art blogging friends! The translation was perfect! I so love the fact that I am "speaking" to an artist and good friend all the way from Italia! Very happy! Thank you visiting my blog and writing wonderful comments. I greatly appreciate it!
      Ciao!
      Abbracci!
      Grazie!

    1. Hello Joan! It was a great collection! And a huge one! You are so right about "knowing" the artists! I loved the fact that I was able to see Susan's work and Martine's work in person! This blogging thing is still so very amazing to me! I am so happy you liked the photos! (I love your recent Carousel painting! Bravo!)

    1. Hello Julie!
      Thank you so much for visiting my little blog and writing the kindest comments! You are so very nice! I so appreciate what you wrote. I am a bit shy but I still love hearing nice words. Isn't kindness wonderful? It was a pleasure for me to visit the art show and it was a tremendous thrill to see our art blogging friends' works in person! Susan's work is certainly fantastic. If you have time you may want to check out Martine's art! So very, very beautiful! Very delicate paintings. Love them both! When I was a teacher I used to model politeness to my young students in a comical way. Besides saying "You are welcome!" when someone thanks you I also said "Thank you for saying thank you!" Used to make the children laugh but I hope it made a point! So all that being said I thank you for saying thank you!
      Thank you Julie!
      Your art buddy!
      Michael

  12. Michael, I am so happy that you were able to go to the event and to be my eyes and ears there! Your excitement and enthusiasm never fails to amaze and inspire me. Thank you so much for going and for saying hello to Susan Roux - one of the wonderful owners of the Roux and Cyr Gallery in Portland Maine. I am so happy to be part of the group of wonderful artists that she represents. Michael, I am overjoyed that you are my online blogging art buddy and that you took the time to go to the exhibit and put together this post. Many, many thanks!
