Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you, my deviant friends!

Happy Holidays to all of you, my DeviantArt friends!!

I was tagged by I too did not know what it means but his journal explains very well what to do.

Here are the rules:
1.) Post the rules
2.) Each tagged person tells 8 things about themselves.
3.) At the end tag 8 people and put their icon in your journal.
4.) Then go to their page and leave a comment saying you tagged them.
5.) No tag backs

It will be hard writing eight things about me with my english, however let's try...

1) I live in Rome, Italy, but I grew up in Sicily, close to the Mount Etna, the largest active volcano in Europe.

2) I'm crazy for skiing, I just love it! Also I love the mountains even without snow.

3) I also like sailing, but have not a boat, just a lot of friends skipper, so I'm lucky enough to sail on beautiful boats... as a guest

4) I still work with two Macs, the old one is very old. There is still Photoshop 5 and Painter 3.1 and until a few months ago I still was doing the most part of my work with such old programs... I'm so used with them! Also I had to hardly study to get around the same familiarity with the new ones, but now I work on the new Mac, so the transition to the new is completed... I can not say that it has not been "soft".

5) I do not like so much driving the car, above all in city traffic, what I love is going around with my Vespa. Hope you know this wonderful old scooter, I know that there are almost anywhere in the world.

6) I like the natural food and by the way am a good pizza maker. So say the friends who come to dinner.

7) We had two cats at home, but unfortunately a few days ago suddenly the younger of them passed away.

8) Although I'm learning to write the poor english that you are reading, I can not speak it at all...
So I hope that if we meet someday, there will be also someone able to act as interpreter...  It's so stupid, I know! But so are things

Though I'd like to personally thank each of you for choosing my images as favorites and for watching me, I'm again unable to answer all the messages piled up during this holiday period.

I apologize for this and hope you will understand me and keep up following my work.
A big thanks to each of you!

On a different note, since I was asked by someone to do it, I just posted a step painting process about my latest painting.
It's here>>[link]
I hope you will find it interesting...

Hi everyone,
I would like to thank all of you who have followed my work during these months of DA membership that were very inspiring, stimulating and enjoyable to me!

Have a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year, too!!

Since I got a number of requests to see details of my works, I just added details links to the most part of my pieces in the gallery, hope you will enjoy them...

Season's greetings!

During the last weeks, for family reasons, I was away from DA.

Although I usually liked to thank each of you for watching my work and favorites, now the messages have become so numerous that I can't do it individually.

Thank you all for your appreciation!
Lorenzo

I thank very much the deviant who has given me a subscription!
I would like to thank you personally, if you will send me a note...

However, thanks again. I'm impressed by your kindness!

Warmest,
Lorenzo
