Tuscany Evening-
Impasto painting technique gives lots of texture to the surface,
 and the warm colors are sure to capture anyone's spirit
who has been or wants to go to Italy.

A Night in Venice-
Impasto technique uses quick strokes, and the surface texture is lighter on this painting than many of my others.

Autumn Afternoon-
Impasto painting technique creates a lively textured surface.
Very thick paint!

He loves this little car!
