In my fourth painting of the city of Turin (Torino), once again I used the portico as a design motif.  Since it is the city's architectural signature, it adds a special touch to this painting that really helped me immerse in the exact moment I was there.

But in this piece, a main event is, of course, a little flower market that I found between buildings.  While the lifeblood of this market scene was all kinds of cheerful colors of flowers, the dark shadow of a building, not to mention that of a huge umbrella, obscured them on a bright sunny day like this... so I thought.  After a few minutes of observation, however, they managed to crawl out of the darkness.  My eyes even started seeing colors peppered on the mostly gray sidewalk.


  This is how I started this painting.
