I salvaged several Saltillo Tiles from a neighbor's curbside and completed three pieces of art shown here. Each has several coats of UV Clear Coat varnish for permanence with a thin corkboard backing.
A piece of art, paint on canvas Colors chosen to show the famous harbor At his loveliest Where fishing boats sail toward faraway hills And tourists mingle with Italian locals Seeking a courtyard where they can rest and enjoy View of the teal waters And the red and orange and yellow and pink houses A prelude, a wish, a longing For a time when I can visit Portofino, alive and splendid
"Bienvenida a mi Casita" - "Welcome to my Little house" For me, this small 8x8 acrylic on canvas evokes images of Southwestern art in New Mexico. It reminds me of a little house in Santa Fe where I lived as a child or the house we recently stayed at in Taos.
