One painting frames a distant church facade with twin bell towers and a domed cupola glowing softly against a deep indigo night sky. The companion piece looks up at a warm terracotta colored building with wrought iron balconies, flowering vines and a street lamp casting a golden glow over the stones below.

Rendered in a folky, storybook style with simplified architectural forms and a rich, saturated palette, these paintings have the charm of a well loved travel memory. Each is signed with initials in the lower corner "J.E.F.". Housed in matching deeply textured, plaster frames painted black flecked with rust and warm ochre tones. Frame itself is 2" wide.

Color Palette: Deep indigo and navy night sky, terracotta and clay roof tiles, dusty sage and slate blue building facades, warm ochre and mustard walls, soft golden lamplight accents See less
