A Quiet Night In


This was a challenging composition and certainly inspired by the number of quiet nights in that it took me to finish this piece! Actually, I really enjoyed myself as I allowed the format and the background evolve. Of course I had to throw in my reading glasses because without them.... well, there would be no paintings!!

Ciao Ragazzi!!


From my Tuscany series. Inspired by fond memories of my time in Italy as a young adult. Warm evenings, family and few good friends sitting together on the front porch as my auntie would pour us a glass of martini. Off we would go for a night on the town, well.... more like a night 'on the village' as it was just a small, local bar where folk would hang out.

A Hint of Tuscany

Watercolor
Memories from the past, many summers as a child spent in Italy. The colors in this series of 4 paintings are meant to transcend you to a warm and beautiful place with white beaches, delicious food and with a hint of romance.

The Pink Armchair

Watercolor
Comfy cozy, grab a book, put your feet up and relax. Inspired by my evening activity to sit curled up with a book and eventually doze off.
My fantasy chair, worn out leather which oozes an invitation to sit on it and dares you to not fall fast asleep!

Flowers And Fruit Make You Feel So Good!

Watercolor
Fantasy flowers meet still life! This was a fun combination of various, recent paintings. I took elements from several recent paintings and with a strong vision for the outcome, I combined these elements into this fantasy flowers and fruit still life painting.

Fallen Fruit!

Watercolor
A display of fresh apples and mums during early Fall inspired my fantasy painting.
