The last time I enjoyed the small beach in Atrani, Italy, I dove all afternoon collecting sherds of tiles
along the ocean floor.
Debris from home renovations— tiles were cast into the sea to tumble & roll with tides until
trapped in coves.
Sea foam and aquamarine are the colors of
La Costiera Amalfatina.
Medley, watercolor, 12" x 10", 2013

'Medley' speaks to me, Emily. I would have loved to dive for tiles in that aqua sea.

those tiles journey, they were made, used, admired, thrown away, dived up, drawn and admired again, your compositions gave them a new life and they look so good, a different look on tiles, love your post Emily, x
those are beautiful tiles! I want to make a necklace of them the colors are so beautiful...your little painting does them justice :)
Oh how beautiful - both the tiles and the painting. AND what a thrill it must have been to dive for these beautiful little treasures.
