Sicilia (Sicily)

The last few days of my art residency at Officina Stamperia del Notaio in Tusa, Sicily, I focused on natura morta, still life painting. The imbuti- the rusted funnels found in la mia casa, represent for me the "Sicilian Life". L'olio d'oliva, il vino, il tavolo, la famiglia. The olive oil, the wine, the table, the family - a richness of relationships, culture, and history found in these lovely little villages and this simple domestic tool.
