Italy garden painting

I took small breaks during a big commission to work on the above painting of the Villa Monestero gardens (Varenna, Italy.) The villa is located in the Lake Como area of Italy where my husband Dave and I visited this past summer. The gardener was setting out new pots of flowers as we toured the garden. What to him might have seemed a haphazard arrangement made a nice composition to me! This piece measures 30″ high by 24″ tall. Not the best photo of this piece. I will try to reshoot it a little later on. I may work on it a little more but it’s back to the commission for now!

Thank you Nina! It’s so nice to see you here in the blogosphere . I am glad you like the painting. I’ve decided it still needs a little something so I will do a little more work on it after all. I appreciate the encouragement! I always enjoy looking at your wonderful trees.

Best wishes,
Jennifer
