This is the view of Monteriggione that inspired today's painting. To get the painting, I drove up a little dirt road way back in the wheat fields, the kind of dirt road that has weeds scraping the bottom of the car and you wonder if you are going to get stuck. I set up, then had lunch and waited for an irate farmer to come and kick me out. Noone came, so I did the painting. I had all of Monteriggione completely to myself, a sunflower field at my back, and wheat fields to my fore. Tomorrow's plan is to go back to Monteriggione and paint another view from the foot of the hill looking towards the ancient city.
