painting of Itailian village

The Cinque Terre: Living Vertically
30" high X 11" wide
Gallery Price: $ 1,800

We visited Italy last fall and spent several days in the Cinque Terre; five tiny, ancient, pristine villages on the Mediterranean. This painting depicts
Riomaggiore homes built on steep slopes rising from the harbor.
The area was deluged by unprecedented rains and mudslides a couple weeks after we were there.
This village was spared but two others were decimated. I'll be creating paintings from each village over the next few months -- check back!

Matted in 8" x 10" or 8" x 12"
simple black frames
Gallery Price: $100 each

Recognizing the need for affordable art, I'm producing another series of small watercolors, this time depicting seasonal scenes throughout the Rocky Mountains. These are received so well that it's hard to keep any in stock; however, I'm making a serious effort to always offer paintings in various price ranges.
