Plein Air Tuscany: Vigneto

Vigneto 9" x 12" oil

Vigneto on my M Box

Inspiration

 The second  oil painting I completed in my Tuscan plein air adventure is "Vigneto" (vineyard in Italian).  The morning fog was still working on lifting when I started this scene of vineyards and olive groves.  This is on the property at the Agriturisimo  I was staying at in September of 2014.  I was situated on top of one of the many Tuscan rolling hills and had a wonderful distant view once the morning fog lifted.  This original oil was painted alla prima, on site.  I used 9 x 12" linen sheets that I later mounted onto acid free foamcore.  This significantly cut down on the amount of space the finished painting would take in my luggage.  There is something about painting under grape vines where you can occasionally taste a sweet grape that remains a  lovely vivid memory. 

This original oil painting is sold.

Companions

Companions

"Companions" is an 8" x 10" oil I recently completed. It started out as a plein air in my backyard but was finished in the studio.  I got too carried away with the intricacies of the wedding ring quilt to finish it outside.  I love quilts and old chairs, anything that has history was most likely well made.  This is the second clothesline/quilt I've painted-and probably not the last.  Both paintings are for sale; Contact me for availability.
