     A visit to Cavriglia in Tuscany, Italy, to a sculpture unveiling by Armenian sculptor Vighen Avetis leads to some surprises.  It was 25 April, which is Liberation Day in Italy (against the fascists and Nazis).  The day of remembering those who lost their lives and the horrors of war is aided by sculpture art.  Including a mother with children larger-than-life bronze by the same sculptor that records the sorrows of the genocide of Armenians.  This small Italian town is making sculpture a big part of its daily life, thanks to Mayor Leonardo Degl'Innocenti o Sanni.

New artwork of a still life and a landscape painting; a Crucifix sculpture in ceramics, a Crucifix charcoal drawing, a master copy of Mariano Fortuny, Spanish artist; In the Studio:  A sneak-peek into artist's bedroom full of figure paintings after images of flowers and foggy days, and snails!

During a very short and spontaneous visit to the Duomo (Cathedral) in Pescia, a small town in Tuscany, I was shocked to discover that I took so many snapshots, unknowingly of a Da Vinci sculpture.  What surprise treasures this town has!  Enjoy my photographs on a dark evening inside the church that had a huge Raphael original (now there is a copy in place) and really beautiful architecture, sculpture, paintings, metalwork, and a Della Robbia studio blue and white ceramic wall-mounted sculpture.  The Pescia Duomo was a place I wish I had visited years ago, or at least without the hurry I was in the other night.

Thoughts on the unique artist's voice, what is on inside the art studio, new painting of the Sea Harbour in Umag, Croatia, painting videos, designer scarves, and the softness of marble.  Art news by creator Kelly Borsheim.
