During a previous year's Troupe 4276 trip to Italy, we visited the Roman Ruins in a hill town, Fielsole,  above Florence.  There was a small olive grove on the grounds.  I wanderedthrough the trees, taking photos of the olives dangling from the branches. That moment was the inspiration for this painting, "Tuscan Olives."

I am donating this painting for the Live Auction at the Dr. Phillips Theatre Magnet's 8th Annual Gala, "Giving Hearts for the Arts."  Proceeds are also benefiting the American Cancer Society.  Comejoin us for thiswonderful cause, and a fun evening with food, and entertainment from the award winning Troupe 4276!
