The Long Way Round Original Painting

The Long Way Round Original Painting

The Story-

“The Long Way Round” throws you into the heart of 1990s Naples, a city alive with grit, colour, and movement. A street of classic Volkswagen Beetles, led by striking turquoise and fiery red cars, snake down the main street, adding to the scene with charm and energy. The electric lines overhead mirror the chatter, footsteps, and daily chaos of a metropolis that never really stops.

Where “California Dreamline” celebrates polished luxury and aspirational calm, this painting revels in the raw, unfiltered vitality of the streets. The worn blues of the buildings, the textured facades, and the uneven light all capture the magic and authenticity of a city that feels lived-in, vibrant, and unapologetically real. It’s a painting that doesn’t want perfection - it thrives in its imperfections, in the energy between people, cars, and architecture and life itself.

This is Blanchouse’ new Italian Love story; elevated yet true to it’s nature. Every brushstroke pulses with life, capturing Naples’ unique rhythm and personality. It’s not about aspiration in the polished - it’s about immersion, experience, and connection to a world that’s colorful and full of stories waiting to be discovered. For collectors, “The Long Way Round” is an invitation to feel the energy, nostalgia, and authentic spirit of a city that lives in movement.
