DRAWING MASTERS - San Francesco Superstar

Opening this afternoon of San Francesco Superstar at the exceptional show of Drawing Masters. The extremely well organized exhibition in the outstanding Palazzo della Penna in Perugia, opened today with 400 illustrations of very well known illustrators. The Umbrian artists interpretated St. Francis in drawings, or in my case, with a painting.
I was pleasantly told that just yesterday my painting was show on local television announcing the exhibition.
