New works and update on art exhibit

Here's an update on my art exhibit at Pane E Formaggio (4532 West 10th Avenue). (February and March)

Three of the paintings have sold; I have been very busy in the studio as a result and here are two new watercolours:

The first is a painting of a restaurant in the old part of Annecy, France. Annecy is located in the Savoire region of France; sometimes referred to as the Venice of the Savoire. This painting is of the sign and facade of one of Annecy's many restaurants. I call this painting "Old An'Necy":


"Old An'Necy" 2013 
11" X 14", $280, framed


Here is the second painting. It is of a small street, in a hilltop town in Umbria, filled with plants. It is called "She's in her Garden" because there is a woman sitting amongst the plants:

"She's in her Garden" 2013 
11" X 14", $280, framed


"Lunchtime in Lucca" was the first painting to sell, it will be replaced by "Old An'Necy" later this week.

"I Was Just Kidding" and "Truly, Trulli" are sold but will stay up until next week.

I will be showing a series of my watercolour paintings of places that I have visited in Italy while on vacation. I take lots of pictures and use them as reference for my paintings.
