Here are a few plein air paintings from stays on a friend’s estate over the last couple of weeks.
Castello di Reschio. 20 x 25 cm, oil on panel.
Fields and White Road. 30 x 40 cm, oil on panel.
Road in the Woods. 25 x 20 cm, oil on panel.
There is a tent they use for events which I was quite partial too. Here is a sketches from the north side, trying to get the effect of the light coming through the cloth.
The Tent, Reschio #2. 20 x 30 cm, oil on panel.
And a few more from the area:
Reschio. 20 x 30 cm, oil on panel.
Cypresses. 35 x 25 cm, oil on panel.
Poplar at Umbertide. 25 x 20 cm, oil on panel.
There is a small composition by Manet in the collection of the Frye Museum in Seattle that is very similar to the painting “Road in the Woods”. I like your treatment very much.
Beautiful and very evocative.
We are staying at Castello di Reschio to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary next week! I am anxious to see your beautiful works in “life” form. Thank you for sharing,
Patty, Austin Texas
Have a great time Patty, they’ve done a fantastic job there.
Maybe I’ve missed it somewhere on your site. But could you offer a little explanation on the color and application method used to tone your plein air panels? Thanks.
