Tuscan Vines
Tuscan Vines
I just finished "Tuscan Vines", a 24" x 18" original oil painting. While in Italy I plein air painted in the Fuglini vineyards just outside of Montalcino. I used the reference photo from the night before (when we were 'scoping' out a place to paint in the morning) and the plein air oil I painted in the morning. I loved the evening shadows of the grapevines better but still the plein air study was very helpful with color. This plein air day was nothing short of perfect as we even were served Brunello wine with our lunch. I painted both fairly Impressionistically but the studio painting has much more impasto. Contact me for current availability.
