The Further You Are, The More Beutiful You Become--Old Ode To Naples Print

This painting is also titled: Brand New Friend Of A Friend Of Mine, yet over the the women's figures, I've written my longing for my native hood (a small village on the Cilento Coast, South of the Amalfi Coast, South of Naples, Italy) in Neapolitan. Thus, another painting tied to a song. A torch song to the city of Naples as it got further in the distance. Sung by immigrants on a ship headed to America. "Ma 'cchiu' 'luntana stai, 'cchiu' bella pare"--"the further you are, the more beautiful you become". Emotionally charged with unimaginable heartache and longing. Imagine how hard it might be to leave all you've ever known behind? But, I'm also using the line of this song as a silly pun--to better quench my own homesickness and longing. What can I say? I'm always up for a cheap joke--and in this case I'm aiming to make myself laugh at my own endless longing for "home", Wildly Creative, Beautiful People. (Painting is signed--as are all others).
