Ciao Bella! I love Monterroso! As I was first viewing the pieces I said to myself, "I Hope she has one titled Monterrosso and I hope it has fiery colors!" Yay for you. It makes me feel like a hot summer day with the sun setting brilliantly!. Whidbey must be wonderful for your soul! Continue with your every broadening horizons...love the work and YOU!

wakanda acts as a counterpoint to the others. they remind me of old barn siding gone wild with color.

These are beautiful. I'm working on somthing similar (paintings made up of modular units) but using different shapes. How are your paintings assembled? Are the wood pieces glued to a substrate? Nailed? Tacked? Would love to find out more.
Thank you,
Laura
