This painting is near and dear to my heart since it won me a Best in Show ribbon at a juried show I entered. I was floored and so grateful. This is what the judge had to say about the painting: "Composition strong with elements of storytelling. Color transition carries your eye through the piece. This painting successfully tells a story complete with a get-a-way car :)" I thank her for the kind words and the recognition.
My husband travelled to Florence for work and I eagerly tagged along. It was a wonderful trip and I came away with many reference photos for future paintings. This one really had me eager to paint it. Reflections and food - what's not to like?? I have to admit that I had a real craving for biscotti the whole time I was working on it.
Thanks for reading! Please leave a comment if you get a chance.
