The Orange House — Portofino, Italian Riviera

oils Palette: Burnt orange · Terracotta · Grey slate · Silver-green olive · Blush pink · Cream · Lipstick red · Cerulean blue · Warm gold Mood: Italian domestic splendour · The luxury of the lived-in beautiful · A life in full colour warmly human coastal painting — a work that balances architectural beauty, garden romance, and the quiet comedy of a perfect red car with the emotional intelligence of a painter who understands that the best landscapes always tell a story about the people inside them. Pairs beautifully with Where the Yachts Sleep as a companion diptych of the Portofino series — one painting the harbour from above, the other the hillside from across — together capturing the full, glorious geography of the most beautiful village on the Italian Riviera.
