Livorno, Italy, 15" x 11"
Via Arsenale, from the port to the town. A busy road with lots of port traffic. I ended up with bands of cool and warm - cool sky, warm buildings then cool foreground and shadows. Not sure what was happening in the bottom right corner - I dabbed my fingertip in the still wet paint, ended up with a circle, so I started making abstract shapes in there.

Livorno, Italy, 15" x 11"
When I don't know exactly where I painted this, I call the painting 'street corner...'. I try to avoid have a large object, as part of a car on the immediate edge of a painting, so the bottom left, it's still in there but made into an abstract shape, to make it 'anything'. Another of my 3-colour palette paintings.

Livorno. Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
The New Venice Area of Livorno. The canal here, if that's the correct word, takes a sharp right-angled bend to the left after the bridge. A lovely scene, with small craft lined up along the canal sides and the sun coming in from a perfect angle across the buildings.

Riomaggiore, Italy, 15" x 11"
Another painting of this village on the Cinque Terre, and those iconic striped tarps covering the boats. So I went for the value change here between the light of the parasols and the dark shadows left. There's a little platform under the parasols with some outdoor seating for the cafe. So just an impression of some people sitting in the shade.

Livorno, Italy, 15" x 11"
The 'New Venice' area of Livorno in Italy, and a horseshoe-shaped wide canal running around the centre of the older part of Livorno. Here a mixture of craft, and just up my street as a painting subject. Mainly modern boats, not really commercial, but I like painting scenes like this - a background, boats and reflections middle ground and maybe something in the foreground - a jetty or similar.

Livorno, Italy, 15" x 11"
A simple scene in Livorno, Italy. Not sure what street, but it is one of the main streets leading away from the port area which is over to the left of this scene. Sometimes I overdo it with the white highlights at the end, but I'm pleased with this one with a touch on the bicycle wheel rims and the balcony. I think if I did anymore, it would be overdone.

Livorno, Italy, Watercolour, 15" x 11"
The Via Arsenale which connects Livorno City with the Port area. I nice row of boats of moored up against the side of the bridge attracted me to the scene, as well as the reflections of the distant building.
