Italian Gelato & Siena Boar

These next two 11"x15" watercolor paintings were created for my Watercolor III studio class in 2009. Each was based on a photograph I took while studying abroad in Italy in the summer of 2008.

This painting of gelato is from a Roman gelateria that had plastic fruits on display on top of each flavor. You can also see the Italian words for the flavors in the translucent blocks at the front of the counter.

The color scheme is slightly muted to account for the view through the counter's frosted glass.

Purchase "Oggi Porchetta (Siena Boar)" through my Etsy shop!

This painting is of a display outside a restaurant in the small Tuscan town of Siena. Siena is famous for its wild boar, and this cafe had a window display of a wild boar head wearing glasses, with white, orange, and green plastic garlands hanging down next to it.

"Oggi Porchetta" also has a bit of a muted color scheme, to mimic the light through the window glass.

These two paintings would look great hanging together, or separately. Because they are from early college studio classes, I've reduced the price to only $99 each. :)
