Riomaggiore Facade, Cinque Terre, Italy

Riomaggiore-Facade,-CinqueTDetails of this painting can be found in Gallery – Italy.

The Cinque Terre is one of my favourite regions in Italy.  Although rather touristy, the five villages each have their own character, tucked into their mountainous backdrops, and spilling down onto the rocky coastline.  Riomaggiore, is probably the largest village, and has a special appeal to me. I can’t get enough of the colourful haphazard houses, their matching shutters, and the general chaotic-ness of the place!

Venezia, Italy

Details of this painting can be found in Gallery – Collage.

This collage was created from of a series of my sketches from Venice, blended with bits of Italian newspaper, various mediums and mixed media. It’s interesting loosely sketching the little gondolas – one wrong move, and its all over!
