Cesi, Italy Apartments

Good apartments is Cesi, Italy (pronounced Chesi) are hard to find. The buildings you see here is not what I would call a nice block of apartments. However, I was fascinated by the look of the place and it obvious age. So, I painted the building back in the studio at The La Romita School of Art. At first I did not like what I painted but over time I have come to like the painting after cropping.

Garden Path at La Romita, Italy School of Art

I have just finished a painting of the garden path at the La Romita School of Art in Terni, Italy where I studied in 2007. I did the painting in pastels to be shown at the spring garden show at White Wagon Farm located near Maumelle, Arkansas. Each of the artists who paint at Sage House (a neat studio and teaching facility) show their paintings in the spring and fall during the opening (spring) and closing (fall) of the White Wagon Farm plant nursery. This painting has special meaning for me since I walked the path several times during my visits in 2001 and 2007. I did a painting in 2007 of the La Romita Art Studio for a location in the garden. I hope to visit La Romita again soon with paints and brush in hand.

La Romita Sunrise


This little painting was painted at the end of my stay at the La Romita School of Art in Italy. I tried to capture the essence of my visit in one small painting. I would be interested to know if anyone likes it. More of this type of small painting to come.

La Romita Bell

The bell shown is from the La Romita School of Art in Terni, Italy where I studies in 2001 and again in 2007. I look forward to ringing this bell again before too long. Wish me luck.
