Italy, Hillside of Flowers


Title: Italy Hillside of Flowers
Size: 20 x 24
Medium: Oil on gallery wrapped canvas
See eBay auction for purchase
PAINTING:
This composition developed slowly with a rough sketch in blues and greens. Soft greys and lavenders in the background help the painting have perspective. I finished all the base deeper colors and when dry I carefully added brighter reds and oranges with a palette knife for added texture in the foreground.
INSPIRATION:
Radiating with optimism, the vibrant palette and serene composition of this landscape was inspired by my recent trip to Italy. Hope you enjoy it!
