I love Italy! The buildings that crowd the sea in their beautiful array of colours are eye catching for me and I have to paint them. A beautiful, young lady in Edwardian clothing stands on a balcony overlooking the colorful town of Portofino on the Ligurian coast of Italy.    This painting was created using professional grade acrylics on flat canvas and has been treated to a coat of artist varnish to protect the surface. The painting is 16X20 inches/40X50 centimeters.
