Joppolo is a beautiful, tranquil town in Calabria, southern Italy. Lungomare is a seafront road of several kilometres that is a favourite morning walk for locals and visitors alike. I have tried to capture the key features along Lungomare in a single painting. I hope you like the result.
Woodland Mist
There is something ethereal almost spectral about woodland morning mist. Sometimes so low that it is swirling around your legs as you walk, other times all around you so trees seem to appear loom into sight from nowhere.
