Galleria Scaramuzza Contemporanea Arte & The Lady Danced

I start with this photo.

It's one of the highlights to my evening celebrating our exhibition in Lecce at

Galleria di Scaramuzza

... a stunning show and great compliments paid throughout the evening.

this moment captured something more.

This lady appears on the scene, her nightly rounds, walks in where we are dancing at a popular restaurant.

An environment of noise, and she in silent words continues to beg for money.

I asked her instead to please dance with us.

It may have been her gypsy moves and rhythms within cause she was a natural.

Her smile and eyes came alive.

* it was later mentioned to me - a man from Naples who frequents the restaurant - he has never seen anyone dance here, and this would explain why so many on lookers throughout the evening.

here with fellow artist, the lady with warm eyes and soft heart.

Arch of Day 95cm x 140cm

Great compliments paid on the evening and messages are following in my inbox about this painting with expressions of feeling stirred by this piece. This work took a long while. I had to chase this painting.

the final gesture of the arch, in a pale - blue - grey - turp wash, this work finally arrived.
