Steven, my point exactly. In todays world one does not need to travel far to find what they are looking for, In this case professional atelier training.

Let me clarify, Hal Barton and his wife wanted to visit family in a near by country and at the same time wished to experience Italy. Their choice being Florence had a molty purpose, first being they wanted to spend time in Florence together and everything else came second. Hal, as you guessed, wanted the academy experience in Florence Italy. His wife wanted to share this time with him where else but in Italy.

You see, the years of our life dwindle away ever so quickly and Hal, Hal had a wish and this wish he shared with his life long partner and friend.

As for the training, I agree, one need not travel far rather the excellent art training maybe in our home town. One point I wish to stress, reason being why I shared Hal's experience, is that life on this earth is a precious gift and we should do well to plan our time wisely. I say this not to discriminate whether one starts early or late in life. One can be sixty and decide to invest time in formal art training or one can be sixteen but get the best art training available.

My best to all
