LA PITTURA DI GINO - 2











Sicilian opera dei pupi or puppet theatre is an ancient tradition [about which I think I should post separately one day] the stories being based upon Norman legend. Here Gino has depicted some of the characters on wood. Next is a painting of a traditional Sicilian house, and below it the same house, painted on wood. The stems of the gerberas on the tile are not painted - they were already a feature of the tile.

Again, the painting of the house is the one for me.
