Cortona Italy



oil on linen panel, 15x30

Here is a scene from a trip to Italy I was on a few years back. It is in the Tuscan town of Cortona. One of the many walled used to be city states.  I was taken by the colors and the building block effect I saw as I came down a hill towards the main square. We were only there for a few hours, but in that time we went to a private wine tasting, the sprawling street market and explored many of the side streets away from the main tourist sections. Yes, there are still places in a small town to escape the disgorging of tourist buses. Even if that area seems to be shrinking daily. 

I have no name for this painting yet so if something comes to you, please let me know.
