This photo of me and The Birth of Venus was taken 24 years ago at the Ufizzi Gallery in Florence, Italy. I took a 16 day trip to France and Italy with my sister and brother-in-law. (I was the 3rd wheel) The Birth of Venus by Botticelli is especially magnificent given that it was created sometime in the 1480’s! One of the amazing things about discovering this photo today is that my taste in art has remained the same. I still love the old masters work, especially when painted in a fantasy world setting. Love! ❤️

Here’s the full painting, Childhood, 36 x 24 in, oil on linen is in the “Reflections In Reality” exhibition on view now at the Schoolhouse in Parker (PACE). Opening Reception February 22, 2024, 6 PM. I will be there and hope to see you then. 😊
P.S. I have two other paintings there as well.
