Tuscany Foodie Trek - Led by Niki Gulley and Scott Williams
Day 2: Siena, Italy
During the Foodie Trek that my husband and I led in Tuscany, we headed to the Medieval hill town of Siena, with its incredible church, great people-watching plaza, and interesting alleyways radiating out from the Campo with something new to discover around every turn.
While most of our group toured inside the Duomo, I chose to set up my easel and capture it's impressive facade. Beautiful pink, green, white and black marble are stacked in such intricate patterns, it's impossible to capture on a 5" x 7" canvas but I was able to at least suggest some of those colors and its scale, while showing the energy around it with people bustling in every direction.
That evening we enjoyed a delicious dinner with pasta doing the backstroke in truffles and pecorino cream while sharing our experiences. What a fantastic day!
