I painted on this little jewel on Friday and Saturday. Lambs ears are one of my favorite plants in the garden and they work well in paintings too. The texture is wonderful.

I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by.

Painting of Villa d'Este

Last year I took 34 on an Art Tour of Italy. Not all were painters, but we all photographed the many beautiful sites. We were able to take in the wonderful art museums, the Vatican, Florence, Venice and many other cities in Italy. The painting I finished today was from one of my photos of a sheltered corner at the Villa d'Este. This amazing villa and gardens was built by Cardinal Ippolito d'Este, the son of Lucrezia Borgia and the grandson of Pope Alexander VI. The gardens have something like 500 fountains and the surprising Fountain of the Hydraulic Organ. It is about 34KM from Rome. If you are ever in the area, don't miss this spot.
I loved the way the light hit the crumbling wall in the late afternoon in March!

Daily Painting for February 4th

16x20 oil on stretched canvas

unframed 400.00

Again, a painting from my Plein Air Painting in Vermont photographs.

I remember standing in the middle of the stream shooting down stream on this one. I have to admit it was much more comfortable painting it in my studio than the one done from the shore on site that day. It was nice and warm but the bugs were pesky.

Thanks for looking

Day Lilies

I have worked a couple of days on this one. This is another flower that the deer and I fight over each summer. I managed to save several with deer netting draped over them.
