I thought I’d celebrate my new blog home (on my own domain! Yeah!)Â by posting a painting I just finished this morning. I took a break from painting the waters of Lake Como to do another painting of the Orcia Valley (otherwise known as the Val d’Orcia.)Â This painting measures 30×40″. It is done on a gallery wrapped canvas, painted out to the edges on all sides:
On this particular day I tortured my husband by making him drive all over the Val d’Orcia (or so it seemed) before lunchtime to find views of the white roads lined with cypress trees. I had a thing for these winding roads and cypresses, which I think make marvelous compositional elements in my landscape paintings.
