I am so happy you are here.

An entire crew was brought together – filming and shutter bugging all over the hills of Tuscany – so that you might join us in these places without ever leaving home. From the music, to the language, to the food, to the things you’ll see and the places you’ll visit – you are going to be surrounded in all things Italian!

I have found that dreams often have a way of becoming reality which just might explain how this course, Timeless Tuscany, came to be. Slowly but surely, piece by piece, the people, places and means started coming together to form our Dream Team. Finally the big day arrived and we landed in Tuscany!

What I dearly loved about our merry little band of creatives was this.

It never once escaped us what we were there for, who we were working for, and what the point of all this was…to capture, bottle and bring back the magic of Italy to you.

Sweet and simple. When you hold a clear and worthy objective, things can come together so beautifully. Everyone had their job and worked tirelessly to make sure we didn’t miss a thing. And me? I held on firmly to the dream of capturing something special for one very special person. YOU.

In this course you’ll find answers to questions like – How can I paint looser? How can getting my values right free up my color choices? How can I avoid muddy colors in my paintings? How can I get vibrant color in my work? Join us to watch over my shoulder from start to finish, and miles of paint in between so you can see how to create luscious color and brush work in your paintings.

I would like to say that no pasta was harmed in the making of this course.

Heck, I’d also like to tell you I’m only 22 and that Van Gogh was my great-great-grandfather…of course pasta was harmed!!!

It’s time to take the long way home through the vine-covered hillsides.

It’s time to follow the slow sunrises with your paintbrush and stir awake every olive leaf, every rooftop.

It’s time to start thinking and painting in magic.

It’s time to embrace the expressive, vibrant painter dying to get out.

It’s time to ‘go’ to Tuscany.
