Street artist - Amalfi Coast

Each major trip I take I purchase a work of art from a street artist and this year was no different. The works of art may range from 3 - 20 Euro (depending on what captures my fancy).   This was my choice for this trip - a print/copy from an artist in Positano.

When I return I always get the work costumed framed which costs a great deal more than the work itself.  However, this is my treat to myself - as if taking the trip itself wasn't enough of a treat - :) 

This work captured the essence of the Amalfi coast to me - the cliffs, the villages along the cliffs, the colours of the sea, the lemons (!) in the area, the flowers (!) everywhere (! ! ! !).

 I always choose a frame that works best with the work itself.  Hope you like my choice and the result.

  1. Lovely! The green was a good choice - it helps to anchor the print.

    1. Thanks Nola! This was just a print of one of his oil paintings but I really liked it - and he was a very nice man - love to support real artists even if in such a modest way.
