"French Shutters", 22x28, oil on wrapped canvas (available framed for an additional cost)

Bienvenue means welcome in French and this painting welcomes the viewer into a sunlit street in an old village in France, or even Italy. The painting was painted about 10 years ago, when I painted with thick impasto, in the colorist tradition. I first painted the scene as a commission for an Italian Restaurant in New York, and had so much fun painting it, that I painted it again!  The painting has thick, rich textures, and the image does not do it justice.
