The Good Will
It was a sunny Sunday in
the heart of Lecce and I was inspired by the flags waving against the blue
sky.
As I sat up my easel at the
corner of the sidewalk, I realize I had brought no turps to thin my paint. I
lifted a tip to the porter of a nearby fancy hotel and after a while he got me
some stain remover from the hotel storage. Sorry, I have to 'stain' the canvas
not clean it! Wait -- he said, and 20 minuts later he brought me some kind of
detergent. Never mind -- at least I can clean my brushes! Thanks for the good
will.
Love all the ancient names of 2000 years old
city: Palazzo Carafa (ex Monastero delle Paoline, right flags) and the Palazzo
di Giustizia (left). In the background the Chiesa del Gesù or Chiesa del Buon
Consiglio
