I spent last sunday at a Christmas market at the Abbazia Sette Frati in Pietrafitta, Piegaro which is about 20km. from Perugia.  

Participating in markets in Italy has its perks like being able to admire this 11th century structure.


If you're in the area it is worth a visit.

This week was full of lemons and mandarines.  I like the simplicity of their form and bright warm colors.
I assembled 4 of them together, I like them together, and you?

 Questa settimana era piena di limoni e mandarini.  Mi piacciono la loro semplicità di forma ed i loro colori caldi e luminosi.
Ho fatto una piccola composizione di quattro, mi piacciono insieme, e a voi vi piace?












































































































































































I hadn't posted paintings since the 28th of October, so here they are.  After the pomegranates had finished I saw these lovely little aubergines in my friends vegetable garden and couldn't resist.  This morning was the lemon's turn.

Non avevpo publicato dipinti dal 28 ottobre, ecco li qui!  Dopo aver finito di dipingere i melograni, ho visto queste piccole melanzane a casa della mia amica e non ho potuto resistere.  Stamattina è toccato al limone|
What a wonderful day at Franco Massimo's FMLDesign OpenLab.  A very creative and talented guy. 













































































































































































I came back from the FMLDesign OpenLab last sunday full of pomegranates.  So here I am.

Sono tornata dal OpenLab di FMLDesign domenica scorso piena di melograni.  Ecco mi qui.




















































I don't have any more large pomegranates.  I do have a mini pomegranate tree on my doorsteps.  Wasn't quite sure how this was going to look all by itself, I think it turned out sweetly.


Non ho piu melograni grandi.  Ho un melograno nano sui gradini di casa.  Non ero sicura di come sarebbe venuto il dipinto, penso che esprime dolcezza.  

 I'm on a pomegranat trip.  Friends have given me theirs or I've picked some.  
They're not quite ripe but I like their beauty.



























 






























































































It's pomegranate season!  Picked these along the walls of Porchiano del Monte.  Ancient Egyptians reagarded this fruit as a symbol of prosperity and ambition.  I love it because of its' subtle colours.

 E' tempo di melograni.  Ho colto questi intorno alle mura di Porchiano del Monte.  Gli antichi Egizi consideravano questo frutto come un simbolo di prosperità ed ambizione.

About me

I'm a Painter.

Just like you, I enjoy finding and marveling at apparently insignificant things such as wildflowers picked on a morning walk, a local fruit right out of an orchard, or an Italian landscape especially at sunset when the colors warm up.

I love simplicity & quality and I embed these values in my paintings by using only the finest Italian oil paints and supports. When you purchase a Barragan Painting you're buying a timeless original that will last for generations. Each painting is signed on the front & back and sold with a Certificate of Authenticity.
