+++++ What Thomas Kinkade said about this work +++++
"You might think that Nanette would get tired of interrupting our vacations with long
pauses while I stop to do one of my Plein Air paintings. But my wife knows me too well
for that. She enters enthusiastically into the adventure, sometimes actually choosing my
subjects for me.
When the two of us stumbled on this view of Portofino, on the Italian Riviera, it was
Nanette who said, 'Oh, Thom, what a wonderful seascape that is. You just have to paint
it.'
What stretched before us was a wonderful old harbor with a fabulous fleet of fishing
boats dancing on the waves. A colorful array of ancient buildings tumbled down the
hillside, almost spilling into the blue Mediterranean. The old town merges imperceptibly
into the vineyards that flourish on the fertile hills."
