I am finally posting my finished painting of the Pitigliano street scene called "Somewhere in Time." It has taken me longer than usual to finish this painting but I am finally satisfied with the result. I have had a lot of help from many friends who were not afraid to give me the needed critiques to improve the final vision.

       My goal was to capture the mood, as I remember it, from my trip to Italy. Pitigliano was the first hill town we visited and walking down the dark, narrow streets I come across this couple silhouetted against the reflected light in the background. The scene stopped me in my tracks. It was a moment that typified the charm and timeless quality of Tuscany.  I immediately understood the unique quality of light that is Italy's attraction for so many artists. The luminous light is inspiring. I have done my best to capture that mood and feeling.
