Moods....and painting

I think I may be on to something new: a fresher style, more impulsive, spontaneous.
Tonight color and form poured out onto a new canvas without much planning, without hesitation.
Very impulsive, and very colorful.
Actually the color is far away from what my "soul" is feeling, but I think it is a way to ironically go against my feelings and get out emotion with COLOR!
Here is a shot of this painting from a "bird's eye view"....right "above" the painting, showing the lines in the canvas. And the second shot is of a detail, all of it still very wet with oil paint.

To be continued and completed.....

Beautiful Italy and today's rainbow

After 5 weeks in Los Angeles, I realize just how beautiful living in the countryside is: Italy!

There are loads of things to appreciate about Los Angeles, the city I grew up in, but today, when I spotted a rainbox in my rear view mirror, and stopped at a gas station to take a picture, I realized once again how being surrounded by all this green, and all these rolling hills....what good it does to ones soul.

Right after snapping this shot, I drove on, to see the hills, covered in green and gold, every so often with patches of bright light hitting here and there, almost magically. The clouds let some of the sun shine through and these magical spots glowed with magical beauty. It was breathtaking! Impossible to take a picture because I was driving, but I was totally amazed at how gorgeous the scene was.

Here is a shot of the rainbow...

and a couple others I was able to take

before getting onto the highway.

Italy is really a beautiful place!

DELTA WIRES AT UMBRIA JAZZ!!

Great fun at Umbria Jazz, lots of very talented groups, lots to see and hear.

This year the group DELTA WIRES is here, on stage both
 at Piazza Quattro November and at Giardini Carducci with their energy, fun,
 great music creating a powerhouse lively atmosphere.

Here they are in action, along with some double (and triple) exposures

 of some of the group members.

I had the pleasure and honor to meet one of the members
who is a friend of a highschool friend of mine in the States.

Thanks Steve for introducing me to John Christensen, trumpet player.

GREAT GOING, DELTA WIRES, SEE YOU THESE DAYS

 AND PERUGIA WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU COME BACK, 

SO HOPE TO SEE YOU NEXT YEAR TOO!

And after the double exposures, here are some other shots of this amazing group.
