Everything Italy: Original Paintings

Italians embody the concept of "La Dolce Vita". There's nothing like experiencing la dolce vita, which literally means "the sweet life".

La Dolce Vita is a lifestyle that celebrates the good things in life, enjoying them to the fullest. It's about savoring every moment and living each day with a sense of joy and appreciation. When you live la dolce vita, you fill your life with enriching experiences and lasting memories. Every day is an opportunity to enjoy something new, whether it's exploring a new city or trying new food. La dolce vita is all about savoring the good things in life and making the most of every moment.

This series was painted in celebration of La Dolce Vita, the sweet life! Sit back, relax and joy the vibrancy and joy of Italy through the paintings: The Gondolier - Venice Canal, The Cliffs - Cinque Terre, Majesty - the Colosseum, Sunset on the Hills - Tuscany, Gelato Shop - Small Town Italy.

Painting: Boats at Harbor - Shelley's art is truly beautiful. Her use of color and technique come alive on the canvas! Her interpretation of the scene is akin to the Impressionists of the nineteenth and twentieth century, yet she has found a way to make the technique all her own. We adore her work and will certainly keep our eye out for more from this wonderful, talented artist!

Painting: Scotland Puffins - When I look at The Puffins in Scotland It stirs my senses, looking at the painting I’m drawn to sun dancing on the water. I smell the sea and feel the cool ocean breeze. I see the cliffs and I can feel the soft earth beneath my feet. I look at the Puffins and I feel curiosity and Joy. I’m transported.

Painting: Sailing Serene - It's a simple sailboat on a calm orange, peach, and salmon colored sea. But it stood out to me. What stands out to me with Shelley's work is her use of bold color. In simple land-, town-, or sea-scapes, there is often a small detail like a sailboat, a rowboat, or some other sign of peaceful life that tells me things are OK. Her pet portraits are beautiful captures of the fur baby's personality. I'm glad her art is in my home, and I look forward to adding to the collection.

Painting: Woman Playing Guitar in the Forest - Everything about this painting is just magical. With the colors, to the shading, the painting is pleasing to look at. Fits perfectly in my room!
