Many talented artists have painted Capri, which is now a world famous vacation spot. I feel that the most beautiful part of Capri is the little, south - shore fishing villiage and beach called Marina Piccola. The Villiage opens onto emerald and ceruleam waters, with the famous Faragliani rocks jutting out of the bay at the far end of the villiage. It is just a small stretch of sand that extends between jagged lava rocks, and there are usually colorful fishing boats moored at this cove.

I have painted this area before and I shall paint it over and over again throughout my life. It's funny - Capri has been called the land of the "Sirens", a reference to its reputation as the island of the Sirens that tempted Ulysses. I feel that Capri also calls to me and tempts me to paint her over and over. Many years ago, I fell in love with Capri. To me, painting Capri is irresistible.

In this work, my goal was to capture the essence of Marina Piccola, which is always filled with fishing boats and local fishermen. I love the rocky landscapes, the flowering plants, and the vineyards that are "By Capri Cove"
