Another composition from the balcony. We had a couple of rainy days but it was possible to work from the balcony without getting wet and then capture light from breaking clouds.

Italia!


6x8 oil on canvas panel $85
Please
Email me for purchase and shipping information.

First painting in Italy was a small one. I started by laying down some rich over-saturated color and working into it by moderatly adding white. This approach kept it from becoming too gray. The first day was pretty gray and overcast. The fields of grapes though are ripe for harvesting after a few days of rain.

Sometimes you can just step out the door. I am off to Italy for 10 days and will post the results of my painting experience in Tuscany when I return. I will be studying with Randall Sexton and Marcia Burtt at a Field Expedition origintating from the Sedona Arts Center. (see links)
