I also practised the art of jewellery at Siena, Bologna, Lucca, and Pisa, in all of which places I executed several fine pieces of workmanship, which inspired me with an ardent desire to become more eminent in my profession. I produced a basso-relievo in silver, carved with a group of foliages and several figures of youths, and other beautiful grotesques.
From this point the land grew wilder that is, more primeval: There was more of Nature and less of man. The scar of the axe was here and there, but the forest predominated. The ridges of pine foliages broke against the sky miles and miles in splendid sweep. "This must be lovely in summer," the wife said, again and again, as they flashed by some lake set among the hills.
I showed them the shoulders and mane of a farm-horse and then the shoulders and mane of a thoroughbred. Upon the first the flies fed without touching a nerve; but the satin-skinned thoroughbred had to be kept in a darkened stall. The first had great foliages of coarse mane and tail; the other, a splendid beast that would kill himself for you, did not run to hair.
The swishing saplings tried to make known his presence to the world. He could not conciliate the forest. As he made his way, it was always calling out protestations. When he separated embraces of trees and vines the disturbed foliages waved their arms and turned their face leaves toward him. He dreaded lest these noisy motions and cries should bring men to look at him.
Still, they saw no hesitation in each other's faces, and they nodded a mute and unprotesting assent when a shaggy man near them said in a meek voice: "We'll git swallowed." The youth stared at the land in front of him. Its foliages now seemed to veil powers and horrors.
For blue eyes, permanent blue and white; for hazel eyes, yellow ochre and vandyke brown. Flesh Tints. Flake white, with a very little vermillion and Naples yellow. Foliages. Chrome yellow and Prussian blue, with any of the browns. Sky. Clouds touched in with white; the rest permanent blue and white. Water. The light parts with white, the rest the same as the sky.

Carmine and vandyke brown laid on lightly, and the edges touched off with the finger. Cheeks. Carmine; soften the edges carefully. Lips. Carmine, with a touch of vermilion. Hair and Eyebrows. Yellow lake and vandyke brown. Draperies. These are always painted on the back, and shaded on the front with vandyke brown. Backgrounds. If plain, glaze with yellow lake. Foliages.
From this point the land grew wilder that is to say, more primeval. There was more of Nature and less of man. The scar of the axe was here and there, but the forest predominated.
