The Italian Paintings

These paintings, created on location, are the result of a two month journey by bus and train from Sicily to Northern Italy. Anthony and Beryl spent most of their time in the south, a little understood region with a very different history from the north. In the south, they stayed in  Catania, Cefalu, Matera, Ostuni and L’Aquila.

In the north they painted in Rome, Florence, and near Lugo in Emilia Romagna.

Painting in Italy April 28 - July 5

I arrive in Catania, Sicily for an extended painting expedition April 29. Six of my students will join me May 4th for a two week workshop. We will explore and paint Taormina, Siracusa, Vittoria, Ragusa, and Agrigento - among other exceptional locations on this sun drenched island.

On May 19th, Beryl Landau will join me. We will begin our slow journey to northern Italy in Cefalu. After a week in Cefalu, we will proceed to the mainland stopping in Matera, Ostuni, Aquila, Rome, Florence and Lugo in Emilia-Romagna.
