painting Italy

4/18/2017

Last summer we were in Rome and Venice. I took lots of reference photos for painting and am only just beginning to work with them. The color palette is a very comfortable one for me and painting these scenes puts me right back in these wonderful locations. The top painting is 12" x 12". The laundry caught my attention as the only sign of life in a deserted piazza on the day we got lost in Venice. Wait, we got lost in Venice every day. The lower painting of the canal is 16" x 20". The photo was taken in a very busy location. I was struck by how the canal was peaceful and quiet. While I

would love the opportunity to paint these scenes on site, there is a lot to be said for the controlled environment of the studio. I find I paint best when comfortable and undisturbed. I have a lot of admiration for the plein air painters, but for now, I will enjoy painting Italy at home. More to come...

Italy is a great place, and I love that you painted it. The work that you did is just astounding. I feel like you have all that it takes to make this happen. If you think that you are not that great, then you need to understand how you can make your life a lot better. It is a lot of work, that much is for sure, but I know that you can do it. I hope that it works out for you.
