"Farmhouse Road"

15" x 30"  oil  $450.00 framed

In Pevina, Italy at a generational Italian farmhouse, we were priveleged to stay for 2 nights in the original home.  It was hot and sunny, but the owners were filled with grand hospitality.  Their vineyards supplied the wine, their hogs the meat.  The spaghetti, olive oil, and sauce were all home made.  They invited all their relatives, children, the locals, the police chief and the pregnant family dog.  We spoke no Italian.  They spoke no English, but we can never forget the joy of the meals and the beauty of the land shared.

After experiencing Italy and the vibrant light and scenery I came back enthusiastic to create in paint strokes the colors and shapes floating in my mind.

"Farmhouse Road, Pevina, Italy"

15" x 30" oil on canvas framed  $575.00

I woke up in a sunlit room and lace curtains filled with the fresh fragrance of an Italian village farm.  Mezmerised, I took a quick shower, got dressed and ran down the road to snap as many photos as I could, deliciously savoring the sun and shadows.  This buttery road, led to the vineyard.  The direction behind me led to the olive groves.  Was I in heaven?  Fresh vegetables, hand pressed olive oil, cheese, pasta, and home cured prociutto were lunchtime specialties!
