The word "pentimento" in Italian strictly speaking means repentance or regret. In artistic terms, however, it refers to an image that was previously painted over and that has emerged through the process of cleaning or is simply the result of fading of the last covers of paint. A pentimento reveals a depth behind a work of art that could extend back into antiquity. Although the images presented in the gallery do not necessarily contain pentimenti, a close examination may reveal some. There are two images on the first page of the gallery that would appear to have images emerging from the past but these are more likely to be artifacts. resulting from the graffiti on the wall.
The painted walls of the hill towns of Italy are always the color of earth; the various shades, tones, and tints of red, orange, and yellow. These colors have great appeal to me, and together with the possibility of the pentimenti and the shadows and shapes on the walls from the objects that are placed on them provide the basis for this gallery.
