There is a pool in the terraced gardens looking out over the countryside. A wellness center is available. Access www.villailpoggiale.com to see for yourself.

No Tuscan experience would be complete without Tuscan food. The villa boasts a fine restaurant where we will linger over many meals. Breakfast daily is also included as well as lunches when we are at the villa.

David will be starting painting days with a demonstration and will be there to work with you as you create. He will also lead photo walks so that you can go home with a treasure-trove of images to work from.

Time and motion... how are they understood? How are they expressed in art? Where do our ideas of time and motion come from?
