Italian Summer (March 2025 Painted Post) // Original Painting yellow eyed penguin Sylvia the swan has beenThis painting was shaped by the idea of Il Dolce Far Niente, the sweetness of doing nothing. It reflects a season of slowing down, of letting ideas unfold without urgency, and of noticing the fleeting light in early mornings and shifting skies. Painted with a quiet rhythm, it holds onto the feeling of stillness before the next season begins. A one of a kind original on paper, first created in March 2025 as the very first edition of the Painted Post.
