Monti Casino
I was really interested in the little white flowers ( monti as we call it in the flower business )...but the pine tree kind of took center stage...then it got dark really quick.
Hi Chuck, I like your laconic "then it got dark really quick". Your painting breathes some of this 'true outdoor painter spirit' - exposing oneself to the difficulties of a constant evolution of the visual conditions - one of the most important, yet underestimated inspirations, or even raisons d'être for landscape painting.
Yes Werner, how can I explain that I actually like being pushed around by mother nature. There are giddy highs and terrible lows... but it's never boring. These past two years painting outside have been the time of my life.
