The inspiration for the three largest paintings was a trip to Italy. Pompeian Courtyard illustrates leaves made translucent by the warm sun. Palatine Facade is a centuries old building in the ancient area of Rome. Each day we passed #4 Aventina, a residence, on our short walk from our hotel to the metro station. The small painting, Victoria Park, is a charming storefront on E. Douglas, Wichita, KS. These paintings are part of an exhibit by Jan Vavra on view in The Egret Room at Exploration Place (no admission fee needed for this area of the museum) Wichita, KS through Oct. 25th.
