We have already seen in “Scali delle Ancore” that a hardware store uses a side window as a gallery for local paintings.This time the subject is an older version of the “Darsena Vecchia”, while the recent photo is much more crowded with larger and less picturesque boats.

I would take the painting home. This is very appealing. I love it when you compare art to the real location.
ReplyDeleteCan't say which picture is the better one.
ReplyDeletePlease have a good Sunday.

I think they are both such beautiful images. The painting is one that I would buy too.
ReplyDeleteThe first photo reminds me on the boats in Malta.
ReplyDeleteI like the painting, VP. It would be a good reminder of the location and the harbor with all of the boats.
ReplyDeleteA picture of a picture...very nice. Actually the top painting is one that apparently many of us would buy.
ReplyDeleteI love both:)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Robert, both are fantastic photos! Such an interesting post! :-D
ReplyDeleteHappy sunday!
Not much difference, there's a touch of new blue...
ReplyDeleteI would also like to have that painting!
ReplyDeleteGreat images VP.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a painting like that to hang over our fireplace! And the "real thing" isn't bad either!
ReplyDeleteAt least they are putting their window to good use!
ReplyDeleteBoth are pretty.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, adorable painting!

Thank you for showing a photo of the place as well as the painting. I'd say the artist is very competent.
ReplyDeleteNice painting. Needs another frame I think.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Steffe... give it simpler wood frame and I'd take it. It's a lovely composition... and so is your photo, then!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how you find these paintings to go with your photos... or vice versa! :-)
