La Donna Italiana di Pari Painting

Inspired by a brief stay in Pari, Tuscany (out west near Grosseto). The Province of Grosseto completely occupies the southern end of Tuscany, and with a territorial area of 4,504 square kilometres (1,739 sq mi), it is the most extensive in the region and one of the least dense in population in Italy (Wikipedia). Pari is a small, isolated hill town. I saw this woman near our digs and struck up a conversation. She was very friendly and seemed, to me, to be an archetypical town character. I watched her gather in the small piazza every day with female friends. She always had a smile for me. Note: if you like this painting, please make an offer. Painters need to eat and pay rent like everyone I prefer oils for their fluidity.
