Original artwork description:

This piece was inspired on a walk on a Indian summer night to a place called "little Italy" in Cleveland. When I saw this place for the first time it was like being transported to a little village that time hasn't changed. Visitors and locals seem to love just being in this community- there is something here that seems to connect you with everyone around you. We all want that in life I think. To feel a part of a community whether we are native born to it or not. To know that we are all connected through this thing called humanity and were all welcome here.

Materials used:

Oil paint, charcoal, oil mediums
