Coming back to Tuscany is always an emotional journey. Coming back to my roots, my youth. Colors, scents, flavors never forgotten. The roofs, landscape, trees and pathways are still there as are the huge doughnuts ( called Frati, in the countryside near Pisa )that I had last year after almost half a century.
I also came back to this image after almost two years and painted it again albeit differently, larger and with a different stroke, a smaller brush, more details.
I do that often. I paint the same image to see how the memory has changed and if I can add other elements, other feelings.
This painting can be seen at Buckland Southerst Gallery
in West Vancouver.
