The roses bloom all summer at "Selva."
At "Villa Realle," I was fascinated by the old servants' quarters.
	Just outside Selva's "cucina" is a hillside of wildflowers	.
Potential paintings are everywhere.
	Our group in 2004 spent 3 days in Florence.

Selva is a very private, 500+ year old Tuscan farm house, part of a very large estate named "Tenuta di Forci." For the most part, Italian cooking classes are held there, and once a year they welcome our painting workshop. Accomodations are superb, the food is magnifico, and Forci is renowned for its wine, olive oil, and pecorino. For more information go to www.abbondanzatoscana.com

My 2006 painting tour to Italy is scheduled for September 10 through September 21. The deadline to be a part of this trip is May 1st, 2006. May I send you a brochure?
