************* The Short Self-Pitch (SSP) *********************
Luciana's Work
Dynamic and Dramatic
The Renaissance Woman….A woman with a wide range of roles and a
splendor of colors used to express a Woman's many facets.
Her figurative representational style does not depict actual lifestudies
but represents the inner essence of woman she has
encountered…displaying their inner beauty and strength, with a lyrical
and sensual approach. Her style is dynamic with bold colors reminiscent
of the French Fauves especially Matisse used to express their emotions.
Her Dramatic compositions take the viewer into the picture plane and
bring them into the narrative lyrical sensual world.

Welcome back to the HEPN! Sonja's vacation went well, despite 2
connections en route to Spain and a trip lasting more than 12 hours. The
weather in Madrid was a pleasant change from the U.S. heat wave –
consistently in the high 60s – perfect for strolling and visiting the
Prado. The Alhambra in Granada is an astonishing place – a palace from
the Middle Ages, when Spain was ruled by Muslims (who invaded in 711 and
were finally defeated by Ferdinand and Isabel in 1492). It's certainly
worth spending the majority of the day. Seville was warmer than the
other cities – not surprising given its southern location (Granada is
also in the south, but in the mountains). The Alcazar (castle) is
lovely, albeit not as impressive as the Alhambra, and has nice gardens –
so much so that 2 wedding parties were spotted having their photos taken
there. The cathedral is one of the largest in the world, and Columbus is
allegedly buried there.
One of the perks of using frequent flyer miles is the option for a free
stopover. In this case, the free stopover was Amsterdam on October 3.
Despite the rain, it is a nice city, albeit quirky. The Anne Frank House
is an essential part of any visit – a haunting reminder of the Holocaust
and a good visit for history buffs. The Van Gogh Museum is overpriced,
but interesting. The RijksMuseum was unfortunately closed for
renovations, so a great dealing of walking and seeing the city was done.
Bicycling seems to be the national pastime, as we saw more bicycles
there than anywhere else we have been.
