That reminded me of impressionist paintings - in Italy "Macchiaioli" if I remember correctly - those painters who went in the houses and piazzas to capture moments of real life. It is not so much the subject of the story, as the act of telling and pleasure he takes in sharing it that makes it so special - where a text does not tell all the story, a single picture, as they say, is worth a thousand words - Another great tale for the annals of painting. Bravissima! The movements of the body and the hands that tell the story show how much Giuseppe loves to involve his audience.

You have rendered a most wonderful portrait of your much adored cousin, with the gift of entertaining la familglia… oh well we cannot posses all endearments, You would not know to look at his portrait here that he has a ‘stone face’ for the camera.

I do hope you share this portrait with him…and tell him he is ‘un tipo!’ and now immortalised candidly through your eyes as a watercolour painting.
Love it!
PS… Love the inclusion of the dog and the affectionate look he has for it.
