I always liked gondolas for how they bounce and dance on the water. The poles provide a vertical geometry, contrasting the horizontal curves of the gondolas. The deep jade color of the canals reflects so beautifully.

Winner “Peoples’ Choice” at OPA Nationals in Charleston, 2023. The main loggia at Villa Vitalba fascinates me, because of the play of light on the arches and the red and white tiled floor. Guests spend hours talking and resting in this luminous space.

The Villa Vitalba outside Bergamo presents scores of intimate views onto its luxurious history. The light is amazing. I enjoyed using the light beam as a compositional force equal to objects with physical weight. I enjoyed the color scheme of burgundy with icy mint.

In this magnificent villa outside Bergamo, my wife and I teach painting courses every other year. The owners have enjoyed this estate as their family summer home since 1492, and one feels the lived-in happiness and bounty of this legacy. In this luminous hall we have demonstrations, dances, morning chats, and vicious ping-pong tournaments. The patterned floor was too much fun too ignore.
