Today, March 6th, is Michelangelo's birthday. He's my favorite artist of all time! Last year on March 6th, I was in Atlanta for business and was able to slip away with my sketchbook and hang out at an art gallery for the morning. Then I came back to the hotel and brought my journal, sketchbook, and "The Artist's Way" to brunch with me and ordered what I considered to be the perfect southern breakfast (and feel free to laugh at me if you want): biscuits and gravy and a big bowl of grits you could stand a spoon up in. I'm really swamped at work today and I have a full load waiting for me when I get home, so I don't know how celebratory I'll be able to get today. Heidi suggested a trip to the gelato place. Hmmmmmmmm....... I will make sure I sneak a little painting time in! linkage: Andiamo, baby! The paintings from my Italy journal. Parts 1 and 2.
