Up the hill
Oil on canvas size 30x30"
Trees...again. Love them, especially in Tuscany. Pathways and trees, I could paint them over and over again. Light and colors change according to the time of the day, the season, the color of the sky. I can never paint a landscape without trees. Pointy trees, squat trees, bare trees, trees in flower. Twisted trunks, gnarled roots, tender saplings. I am a painter of trees.
This painting can be seen at Buckland Southers Galleries, in West vancouver.
Coming back
Oil on canvas, size 20x24"
Coming back to Tuscany is always an emotional journey. Coming back to my roots, my youth. Colors, scents, flavors never forgotten. The roofs, landscape, trees and pathways are still there as are the huge doughnuts ( called Frati, in the countryside near Pisa )that I had last year after almost half a century.
I also came back to this image after almost two years and painted it again albeit differently, larger and with a different stroke, a smaller brush, more details.
I do that often. I paint the same image to see how the memory has changed and if I can add other elements, other feelings.
This painting can be seen at Buckland Southerst Gallery
in West Vancouver.
