Another Italy collage

This is an 18"H x 24"W piece I made in April but forgot to post! It depicts Manarola, one of the 5 fishing villages in Italy referred to as Cinque Terre. This has a nice deep view from the grasses in the foreground, to the crashing surf, the houses perched on the rocky cliff and the Ligurian Sea beyond.

A fourth Italy collage

The five villages of Cinque Terre, Italy are so magical! I just had to make another collage from one of my photos – this time the village of Manarola. It is 18" x 24". I like the depth of this one with the grasses in the foreground, the surf against the rocks the village is perched on top of, and the Ligurian Sea beyond.

A good start on a series

I've now made three pieces of art from photos I took in Cinque Terre, Italy. The five fishing villages along the Ligurian Sea are charming with their colorful buildings and boats in the bay and along the streets. I added faint script in the sky of all three works; the script came from letters I photographed in a museum at the University of Bologna. I like how it gives interest to the sky and creates a feeling of written memories or a story the viewer doesn't have enough clues to decipher. Additionally, I ran several different filters on each scene, cut prints of those into strips and pieced together the strips to create more of an impression of the places -- taking each beyond a photographic depiction of the villages.
