painting of Itailian village

The Cinque Terre: Living Vertically
30" high X 11" wide image
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!
