Interlude, Italy
A quiet European street scene filtered through Suttles’ expressive color and gesture. Figures sit beneath a shaded canopy as light washes over foliage and stone façades. Nothing is staged; the poetry comes from the pause between moments — the small interlude of everyday life. Loose, confident brushwork and a cool palette place this firmly within Suttles’ European travel paintings of the early 2000s.
Bill Suttles combines gesture and color to suggest motion, memory, and the intervals between conversation.
The piece measures 16×20, and is presented in a 17×21 in frame, offering a subtle, finished edge suitable for intimate wall placement or gallery display.
