The last of the vacation artwork!
Here is the Tuscan scene I worked on over the beach break. I like it for the simplicity. This piece is more about color, pattern and shapes rather than shading and volume. While I was working on it, I likened it to the childhood days of scribbling a big swirly paper and then coloring in the shapes created by overlapping lines. Remember that?
An Italian twist on July 4! Are you familiar with the work of Frances Mayes -- UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN?
ReplyDeleteVivid colors are delightful! Enjoy this Fourth of July with your family and friends.
This is so nice, Elizabeth, and a departure from your usual portraits of animal, vegetables and still life. Now I can see you painting these in your 3rd floor airie in NC. What fun!
ReplyDeleteI love the simplicity too. I always love coming to your blog and to see what new and wonderful pieces you have created.
