Today I accidentally came across a small print of this painting and searched to see if it had been added to my flickr offerings. It had, back in 2009. It was not a very good image. So I took the original and worked on it using Snapseed’s various tools. The result is much closer to what I recall creating.
The painting is 8 x 36 inches, Griffin Alkyds on canvas. The white border was added by me. Enjoy!
This artwork has been sorted out to represent Italy at the exhibition "Pyramide Europe 2005", International Fair of Barcelona.
This painting is 14 x 22, alkyd oils on canvas. While the subject is imaginary, for the tea bag I used a real one for reference. I guess that I was thinking about what a small town might do to promote some trade. "Teacup..." is in a private collection.
The color is uneven, with it being a bit too warm on the left and a bit too cool on the right. I am reposting artworks from the past so that my followers might go to an album that would otherwise be overlooked.

This 4 x 4 inch alkyd on canvas was a gift to my late twin brother, Alan, while he was valiantly fighting a metastasized melanoma. He passed on in August of the following year at 61 years of age. Alan always loved airplanes. He took flying lessons in college and soloed for about forty hours before his funds ran out. Sadly, he was never able to continue with flight training.
Note: I’ve entirely redone this image. The photo from 2002 was too gray and had too much contrast. Since I don’t have the original I scanned a print that I know was close to the original.
A 16 x 16 inch alkyd on canvas. this is one of my favorites. I've hidden the names of my late mom, dad and brother in the painting. I'm afraid that this image is too small for a fair search, however. There is also a visual pun in this one. The sign on the side of the house reads in part, "LOT." Can you tell what that yellow and blue box on the downstairs window sill is? In the window above the front door are two little antennae. Was the UFO crash pilot error? Maybe. This painting is in a private collection.

"About strange punishments must I make verses,
and furnish matter for the twentieth song
of this first lay, which treats of those submerged."
Based upon Dante's Divina Comedia, Inferno, Canto XX
(chalk, alkyd, acryl, paper-collage fragments on paper, 45x45 cm, cut in 9 equal pieces of 15x15 cm)
I completed this piece in June of 2003 and sold it about a year later. It is one of my favorites. When it was almost finished I said to myself, “it has everything but the kitchen sink.” So I added one.

Erased in 2020. new as this painting:
a certain trivial moment
This is what I wrote when I posted this photo twelve years ago:
Streamers is a 12 x 24 inch alkyd painting on canvas. I have always liked this painting. An odd thing happened while painting it. The clouds in the sky look quite real, but were created strictly out of my imagination. The cloud on the little canvas at the lower right is from a photo that I took of a little lonely cloud. I could not get it to look real to save my life.
The above image is a scan that was made of an APS print. I’ve worked on the color, but it’s somewhat uneven and too red. Click on the thumbnail below to see the finished piece with more accurate color.
Inspired by an old indian text, the Rig Veda. Alkyd Oil on wood plate by Corrado Leoni.

I have realized this artwork after the sad collection of park-ticket taken at the hospital.... The hard time spent to visit people there gave me the idea to create the painting.
Of course, the atmosphere couldn't be happy....
