| I had the great pleasure of painting in Vernazza, Italy for one week in 2007. This is one of 5 fishing villages that comprise the Cinque Terre (Five Lands) along the Ligurian Sea, up near the hip on the boot-shape of Italy, about 50 miles south of Columbus' home port of Genoa. Vernazza has a true, small fishing village feel about it, complete with ruins of a castle dating to the middle ages and colorful, small fishing boats moored in the harbor of its blue-green Mediterranean waters. Delicious seafood, spectacular views and a slower pace of life make this one of my favorite spots. This scene was taken from high above town with a commanding view from the cemetery, shortly before dawn. The village seems aglow, almost on fire against a cobalt blue sea and sky. I enjoy the excitement of those colors against each other. |
