Cafe Bellissimo

Inspired by walking around Rome and finding one visual treasure after another, this painting depicts a busy street-side cafe with people enjoying a late afternoon lunch and drinks. Cats are sitting near the cafe hoping for a treat and people are walking into the bright sunlight. When we were in Rome, we would often walk down a dark street in the shadow of ancient buildings and then we would turn a corner and there would be a beautiful cafe or shop or work of art. It was all so lovely. Painted with thick, impasto strokes of oil paint, this is a contemporary impressionist style artwork. It ships with a signed certificate of authenticity and has been painted with professional Rembrandt oil paints.
