Art Weekly 163 – Come Inside, Chania, Crete

AW-163_ComeInside-Chania,Crete

16th December 2015 –

A different colour palette with this painting, which was I found a bit tricky as so many of my recent paintings have been in blues and greens.  Strangely too, this painting hails from the lovely Chania in Crete, as did my previous one.  There are so many beautiful little laneways packed with inviting restaurants and bars there, so plenty of exploring required.

Art Weekly No 134 – A Quiet Spot, Bologna

AW-134_AQuietSpot_Bologna
For Sale – 29th January 2014

As mentioned in my email, I had intended to try to ‘tone down’ my palette somewhat this year – but that certainly hasn’t happened here!  There is something about Italy that to me, turns on the reds, terracottas, and yellows, and Bologna is a definite example of that.  Everywhere in the city there are amazing rich coloured buildings;  in the wide avenues, and the tiny narrow laneways. Some are newly painted with well thought-out ‘accent’ colours, and others are peeling and crumbling layers of centuries of paint. The little Osteria in this painting was nestled into the deserted back streets and come lunchtime, I bet it would be packed with people.

Bologna is also a city of porticos – nearly 40 kilometres of them! I believe way back in 1288, Statutes established that all new houses should have a portico and it was required that these be big enough to allow the passage of a man riding his horse. This act left a wonderful imprint on the final appearance of the city which makes it so unique today.
