I love abstracts like this, impressionistic, dancing with the light and shapes. It also appeals to my eyes which are getting blurrier by the day. That kind of world makes sense to my brain. Thank you for showing us this lovely masterpiece.

Tabby, I love this piece so much. Thank you. Hearing about your here, from the thinking to the doing, getting it on canvas, was great. First, it was great from a philosophical point of view - and the world could use a little book of sayings from Damon - but second, from a painterly aspect. Tonya and I are currently taking a beginner's class in oils and we have both loved it. To the point of planning to take some painting supplies with us on our next long trip. Anyway, thanks again, and I love this painting, as well.

My sister, her husband, and four children spent a semester in Lucca. They adored it, especially the gate to get into the city center, *and the colors.* Being from Wyoming, I'm sure the contrast from home was intense.
