[Traditional Art] La Vita Per L'Italia! - Plus Process Pictures

 [Traditional Art] La Vita Per L'Italia!

This drawing is based on Italy! I tried to put in some basic things I think of when I think of Italian food, and I ended up with a tomato, grapes, mushrooms, bread(!!!) and wine.

The words above the flag say "La Vite Per L'Italia" which means "Life for Italy".

Next to the Vase there are also word it's hard to see in this image but what it says it "L'Amore Di Dio è In I Fiori" Which means "The love of God is in the flowers".

And that's the extent of my Italian abilities....

 

Enjoy!
