Italian painter Alessandro Tofanelli’s haunting landscapes conjure a feeling of stillness and solitude. Whether that’s a positive or negative is, I think, somewhat indeterminate.

He paints in Italy, however — for me — his emphasis on scenes on or at the edge of water feel particularly evocative of the time I spent as a child with my grandfather on the Eastern Shore in Maryland.
