Boats in Bari

Year: 2023
Medium:Watercolour on paper
Original Painting Size: 56 x 96 cm (1/4 sheet)

Painted on location along the Bari waterfront, this plein air piece captures the striking contrast between the vivid fishing boats and the sunlit façade of Teatro Margherita, one of the city’s architectural gems.

The warm terracotta tones of the historic theatre glow in the afternoon light, while the cool blues of the boats and rippling reflections in the water add a dynamic balance. Loose brushwork and gestural marks bring the scene to life, suggesting movement, texture, and the ever-present rhythm of the port. This work is part of a series created while sketching on location in Italy, exploring the interplay between culture, architecture, and the sea.

Made on location in Bari, Italy.
