My inspiration for this recent piece, is my continued love of the ‘Casa Colonica’ in Italy. These farmhouses represent a rural life of an epoch gone by, which I find fascinating. By painting their portrait so to speak, I feel I am giving them a renewed voice and acknowledgement. I feel a connection to these massive structures.
This particular view in the dark of night has a comforting feeling yet a loneliness standing in the shadows with only a half light from the moon illuminating. The stone wall in the foreground creates a presence of its own, inviting the viewer to proceed forward or warning to stay and watch from afar. Moonlight Moon is the beginning of my ‘Italian Night Series.’
