Sandra Di Nardo - Paintings - Fashion

I am working on a surrealist fantasy painting called transformation.  I can't wait to post it! As soon as I finish it I will start a series on Italy.  In May my daughter and I travelled to Rome, Florence and Cinq Terre, Italy.  I was emotionally moved and drunken not with wine (although it was quite good) but with the beauty and light of this country.  During our stay in Rome, our hosts, Rosalba, Fabrizzio and Riccardo were gracious, kind and everso attentive to Sophie's and my needs.  We are both grateful for their hospitality and friendship. What struck me when I arrived in Italy were the elegant tall pine trees seen everywhere. They line the hillsides and the streets with their wonderous height, their twisting and intertwining branches holding  tufts of leaves at the end of their reach, like tall waiters balancing platters above our heads.  They will certainly be part of my next few paintings.  Ciao amic...
