A Walk in Varenna

Here is a new painting of the walkway along the grounds of the Villa Monestero in Varenna:

 

Even when it's 30 degrees outside here in Virginia, painting gives me the luxury of transporting myself back to a beautiful warm spring day on beautiful Lake Como in Italy!  This oil painting measures 36"h x 24" wide. For purchasing information, please contact me.

Verdant Hills

Here is today's newly completed painting:

 

Southern Tuscany has the most beautiful sloping and undulating hills. They are made even more striking, I think, by the winding roads (referred to as the "white roads") and cypresses that punctuate the landscape. As you can see by the field of sunflowers, this is a scene at the height of summer. This oil painting measures 20x24". For more information, please contact me.

Daisies in a Blue Jar

Here's a little 8x8" alla prima still life floral I just finished. I like painting flowers especially in the winter time when it's too cold to for me to go outside. This painting is gallery wrapped, with finished edges on all sides. I think this would look great in a yellow or blue kitchen. I also like putting little paintings like these in unexpected places, such as in amongst books in a bookcase, or on a little shelf. For more about this painting please click on the image or  contact me .

Il Villaggio Piccolo

This is a painting of one of the small villages I saw while traveling throughout the area of southern Tuscany. I am not even sure if it could be called a "village". It was more a small grouping of houses plopped in the hillsides of the region called La Crete. The painting measures 24x30".
