I saw this sunset from a parking garage high above the North End one early summer evening and was determined to capture it in a mosaic. I used smalti, Venetian tile, millefiore, beads, and mirror for the architecture. ...

New mosaic depicting Cinque Terre region of Italy

I just finished this view of the most popular of the 5 Cinque Terre villages in the Liguria region of Italy.  I visited the area several summers ago and was amazed at how the villages grew up on the cliffs of the area.  This is Number 8 in my Italy series of mosaics.  You may also find photography from this and other trips in the photography section of my website.
