In 2006, my husband and I spent two weeks in one of the most colorful cities in the world… Naples..
We rented a furnished apartment and every day we did a commute which included taking the subway and walking through the most amazing crowds of people.
My husband spent his days attending an Italian immersion class, and I did research in the Archives, but the most fun we had was on the streets of Napoli. We were particularly in love with a street called “Spaccanapoli” which means it splits Naples in half. We took hundreds of photos, of people, of architecture, of dogs, food dishes. We were there for the entire experience. This couple was having a little argument about something that she was sure they bought and he was equally sure they had not.

Mimi, you haven’t just painted a painting, you have painted a story! I can see these two exactly as you describe them. She, especially, looks like quite the character. What a charming painting.
