Imagine, two weeks in the country, 1 1/2 hours from Florence, living in a 17th century restored country house. Living like the locals, with a slower pace of life, shopping in markets for fresh food, painting Cyprus treed landscapes or medieval village scenes. Imagine a world, unplugged from your computer, your cell phone, TV, and your children. Does this sound like heaven to you? Dawn Angela Seeley is offering you this little bit of heaven in the incredibly beautiful Spanish colonial town of San Miguel de Allende in Mexico and/or the medieval village of Anghiari in Tuscany in 2008! 

Take a look at her collection of paintings, her private art classes for children and adults and her Artist's Get-Away painting tours to Anghiari in Tuscany, the South of France, San Migeuel de Allende in Mexico and the Napa Valley in California. 

The theme of Dawn Angela's artistic works is the magnificent and colourful moments and memories, painted with a purist approach of mixing only pure primary colours, usually painted plein air (or alla prima) while on-location on the Artist's Get-Aways to Tuscany, France, San Miguel and the Napa Valley.  On the Art Gallery page you’ll find oil paintings, watercolours, monotypes, hand-painted black & white photographs, pastels and fluid acrylics, representing enchanting landscapes, floral and architectural studies and art works that she has been commissioned to do.

Dawn Angela is also the artist for and co-author with Giuseppe Dini, of the Tuscany tour guide book, An Adventure in Tuscany with Beppino The Friendly Tuscan Wolf. 

“I am never so happy
As when I leave the beaten track
To paint
Something of my admiration for His creation.
My soul thrills with gratitude.
My studio a field, a hillside, the shade of a tree
My canvas yearning for colour.
What shall I paint? A moment, a shadow,
Some beautiful shape in the sunlight,
An eternal memory.
Neither bees nor bats shall haunt me
By day or by night.”

Dawn Angela, 2007
