Along the Lungarno Torrigiani in Florence

This church along the Lungarno Torrigiani in Florence always caught my eye on my morning runs. I thought the light orange of the building was refreshing, sort of like an orange San Pellegrino. Oil on 16"h x 20"w x 1 1/2"d stretched canvas. SOLD.

Italian Cafe

This waiter appears to have just finished setting the tables at a Florentine sidewalk cafe for lunch. Oil on 18"h x 24"w x 1 1/2" stretched canvas.

View of Florentine Rooftops

Late Night in Florence

Florentine Rooftops

After I returned home from Florence, this was what I missed most... sitting on my hotel's rooftop terrace at breakfast with a cappuccino and this view. The reference photo for this was taken on a misty November morning. Oil on 20"h x 24"w stretched linen. SOLD.

View from Piazza Michelangelo

This is a view of the hills surrounding Florence, Italy from Piazza Michelangelo. I know it doesn't look real, but it looked that way in real life. I guess it doesn't look real to me because of the umbrella pine and cypress trees, which are completely different from the trees we have in Pennsylvania. Add a fortress wall and a Tuscan villa, and it looks like a made-up scene. But it isn't made up, it really exists in Italy! SOLD.

Along the Via di Belvedere

From the Piazzale Michelangelo in Florence you can see a winding wall going up the opposite hill, surrounded by olive groves. I wondered what was there, so I jogged up the hill one morning. Unfortunately, you can't really see over the high walls into the city or the olive groves, and the tall iron fences are sealed off so you can't see inside. I saw some pretty views of the wall's turrets and cypress trees, however. Oil on 7"h x 5"w stretched linen.

Alley Near the Duomo

The cool colors near the Duomo in Florence create the feeling of mystery, and contrast with the warm facades of the alley buildings. The 1 1/2" gallery wrapped edges of the piece are painted raw umber and the work comes ready to hang. Oil on 18"h x 24" stretched linen.

Misty Morning in Tuscany

This is a view from the top of Piazza Michelangelo in Florence on a misty fall morning. Not only are the clouds misty, but the fluffy leaves of the olive trees in the foreground also create the same effect. Oil on 12"h x 16"w stretched linen.

View of the Arno

This is a view of Florence, Italy from Piazza Michelangelo. Oil on 12"h x 18"w stretched linen. SOLD.

Piazza Della Republica

Street sweepers clean the stone streets of Florence in the mornings, giving the city a fresh feeling at the start of the day. This is the newly cleaned Piazza Della Republica. Oil on 20"h x 24"w x 1 1/2" stretched linen.

View of the Ponte Santa Trinita

The Ponte Santa Trinita bridge in Florence, Italy, is bathed in the warm morning sunlight. This was painted from a photo I took during one of my morning jogs along the river. I would wake up as early as possible to catch the dramatic light on the domed buildings. This was difficult because of the long nights of wine drinking, but the plentiful espresso bars all over the city helped me accomplish my goals! SOLD.

Florence

This is a view of Florence, Italy from the rose gardens near Piazza Michelangelo. Oil on 24"h x 30"w x 1 1/2" stretched canvas. SOLD.
