Manarola Harbor, Italy
First painting of 2024 is this 9x12 acrylic of the Manarola Harbor in Italy. Deciding if I'm going to take what I learned and re-produce it on a 24x30 canvas.
Painted Segmented Vase
My brother and sister-in-law, Jim and Debbie, craft beautiful segmented vases and bowls . My wife, Joan, suggested purchasing one as a Christmas gift for my mother. Jim proposed a collaboration... he would make the vase, I would paint a scene. This seven inch vase was the result. With only about 3 1/2 inch square of curved "canvas" to work with, it was a challenge. I chose the historic San Francisco de Asís Parish Church in Ranchos de Taos, New Mexico, hoping it would evoke memories of my mother's childhood. Oh, my 84 year old mother loved it.
