HI everyone..
So here we go....yesterday i met Richard Gere. So fun!!! He was so nice and loved his piece i made for him. Greg and i saw him on the red carpet the night before and sat maybe two rows back from him at the premier. Honestly, he was so cute and i could not help but get giddy and think i was julia Roberts from Pretty Woman.
Also..Nikki Beach where i hang out everyday has these speakers called u-vola. To make a long story short...they are about $2800 a piece and some of them are painted as part of a private art collection of the owner. Lets just say that the owner took a liking to me and had me paint one yesterday. Nikki beach was so impressed that my speaker was on display for a private party i was invited to and suddenly i was a guest of honor and my name was on the menu! WHAT???? They are crazy because i pass by seriously 10 artists a day painting in Venice and some how they love my work.
Today was a slow day...but a great day. Greg and i were able to take half the day off and play in Venice for the first time. We had the most amazing dinner of my life. I learned how to drink and present wine the Italian way and i can't wait to share it with all of you at home. Just wait i am like so EURO now...just kidding!!!! Actually Greg is suddenly soo Euro now!
OMG!!! ( oh my GOD!) i forgot something HUGE!!! This Asian Kid was cruising the gift suite and he stopped at me and loved my paintings. I had no idea who he was and took a liking to him because he was so interested. So i said i would love to paint something for you. He then said i would love to paint something for my Dad. I said okay...give me some details...ARE YOU READY FOR THIS!!!...after talking a little bit i realized that his dad is JACKIE CHAN!!!! Ummmmmm...I have Jackie Chan's personal address in Hong Kong to ship him a personal plate from his son. CRAZY!!!!! and the best part is that he is paying for it!!!!! FINALLY FORGET THE DONATIONS!!!!!!
Tomorrow i will be presenting Tim Burton with his piece.
to be continued...
I miss you all terribly and i am ready to come home.
All i want is a cheeseburger, then the next day i want mexican food, then sushi, then Chinese. I have my whole week planned out when i get home because they seriously only eat pasta and pizza in Italy.
i love you all,
ciao, timree*
