***My Italian Sketchbook

My Italian Sketchbook is exactly what it sounds like.
Florine Asch took a Grand Tour of Italy. Like the tourists of long
ago, she brought along her sketchbook. The privileged reader of this
book gets to share her perspective on Italy, done in lovely watercolors.
This lovely sketchbook doesn’t take long to browse through and gives
you the flavor of Italy. Although I love taking photographs, I envy
Florine Asch the time and skill it took to sit and paint all these sights
in Italy.
