Description

CINQUE TERRE COLORFUL HOUSES 7 is a close version of my original MANAROLA SUNSET - CINQUE TERRE ITALY modern textural impressionist impasto palette knife oil painting.

I was inspired to paint this work by my travels to Cinque Terre, Italy.
The wonderful sunset scene from Manarola inspired me this vibrant semi abstract cityscape.

I realized this modern textural impressionist painting in impasto technique by applying thick layers of oil paints with different types of palette knives. In this way I am able to create various palette knife strokes and textures that, by interacting one with each other, give a semi abstract feeling to my paintings.

Manarola (Manaea in the local dialect) is a small town, a frazione of the comune (municipality) of Riomaggiore, in the province of La Spezia, Liguria, northern Italy. It is the second smallest of the famous Cinque Terre towns frequented by tourists.















Manarola may be the oldest of the towns in the Cinque Terre, with the cornerstone of the church, San Lorenzo, dating from 1338. The local dialect is Manarolese, which is marginally different from the dialects in the nearby area. The name "Manarola" is probably dialectical evolution of the Latin, "magna rota". In the Manarolese dialect this was changed to "magna roea" which means "large wheel", in reference to the mill wheel in the town.
Manarola's primary industries have traditionally been fishing and wine-making. The local wine, called Sciacchetr�, is especially renowned; references from Roman writings mention the high quality of the wine produced in the region. In recent years, Manarola and its neighboring towns have become popular tourist destinations, particularly in the summer months. Tourist attractions in the region include a famous walking trail between Manarola and Riomaggiore (called Via dell'Amore, "Love's Trail") and hiking trails in the hills and vineyards above the town. Manarola is one of the five villages. Mostly all of the houses are bright and colourful.
