Quartly Fine Art to release “Afternoon Together”
This Limited Edition on canvas will be 75 /75 and 15 Artist proofs. The size is 30×30 inches.
I am so excited about this painting of Portofino Italy and the painting captures Portofino in a way thats different. Portofino really is a very small port. Just enough room for the church, a few restaurants and shops. The place is swarming with artists and the energy there is amazing and still carries the charm of the old fishing village on the Riviera.
Each one of these Limited Editions I will personally Embellish with paint to bring back the look of the original “Afternoon Together”.
Release date – March 1st 2010 at all the galleries that represent my work.
I look forward to meeting you at the next show!

Day at the beach (Oil on canvas)
In the 1520s in Europe, miniature portraits started being used used as jewelry, in lockets and brooches, particularly in France and England. Miniatures were especially popular in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This Niche painting has been celebrated and collected over the centuries.
A rule many ascribe to is that to qualify as a miniature painting, the subject must be painted no more than one sixth of its actual size. So an adult head would be about 9″. Some societies stipulate maximum sizes, for instance 5×7″ or 10×10cm.
I have had the pleasure to be apart of the Exclusive collections Gallery in San Diego. They host an annual miniature show with the artists that are currently represented. A wonderful event and will continue to grow and impact the community for art.

I have a number of ongoing works, some Private Commissions and Hospitality projects as well as paintings that I just feel like painting. Here is one that is inspired by “Hills of Tuscany” a popular Fine Art Limited Edition we released a couple of years ago. Something about this image is comforting and inviting. Im painting it again but different. here is the work in progress today. The Canvas started entirely bright pink orange tones with yellow in the center.
