The far off landscape combined with the roofs in sun--the roofs remind me of your spurgeon paintings that you perfected so well. Sounds like you had a great trip. I'd love to see your work sometime....maybe coffee at the Gypsy Den or something.. Joe this is such an amazing painting.–and its totally you.

I hope that all went well and I will look forward to seeing some of your paintings when I return. By the way, I was fortunate enough to see that Caravaggio painting in Rome in early June. It was unbelievable. I have seen images of the painting many times, but never really had a sense of the power and intensity of that work until standing in front of it. We are traveling in the Northwest, will look forward to seeing you in August. Take care Andy Hello Joe,

I got a lot of paintings done, but also inspiration for work I plan to do. I'll be posting more in the next few days, including more info about the residency itself. ...after the jet lag lets up...
