Sant’Angelo in Colle. 20 x0 30 cm, oil on panel.
A quick post with some of my paintings from last week in Tuscany.
Late May/early June is my favorite time to paint in the area south of Siena, as the wheat fields are at their best, just before the harvest. The Senese is probably one of the more picturesque places on earth, and it is arguably the place where the first landscape paintings since antiquity were painted in the Allegory of Good and Bad Government frescos by Ambrogio Lorenzetti in the town hall of Siena.

Mario. 20 x 30 cm, oil on panel.
Castelmuzio. 25 x 35 cm, oil on panel.
Montisi (unfinished). 20 x 30 cm.
We were lucky with the weather. There were thunderstorms around Montisi (where we were staying) but with the big skies of the Senese we could see where they were growing and move around them.

On the Beach, Roccamare. 20 x 30 cm, oil on panel.
The last few paintings are of the sunset every evening from the farmhouse where we were staying outside of the village of Noce, near Tavarnelle val di Pesa. It’s part of a continuing series I’ve been working on which I intend on framing all together in one large frame. You can see some of the ones from last year here.
