Costa dei Trabocchi

The Adriatic coast of Abruzzo: a wooden trabocco fishing pier stretches into a turquoise sea, with cypresses, a red-roofed house and a pale sandy path on the shore, all caught in a wide, windy swirl of blue.

The Adriatic coast with a trabocco stretching into the sea, a small coastal village, wind-shaped trees, and a wide movement of blue water and sky. Soft Mediterranean colors: turquoise sea, pale sand, green cypresses, and warm accents of red and earth tones.

This painting for me has a light feeling, somewhere between landscape and memory: a view of the Italian coast seen through movement, color, and emotion rather than exact detail.
