Olive grove at twilight, July

Making today's painting was delightful. I returned to the wonderful olive grove from yesterday and made the same composition. Twilight is a perfect time to be out painting in the hot summer months in Tuscany. Birdsong and cicadas kept me company, and the smell of wheat, dried grass, flowers, and olive trees baking in the sun was blissful. I heard that today it was raining and 60 degrees in Holland...someone wrote and said it was autumn there now. Hmm, maybe working in Tuscany isn't so bad after all?!

Unknown said...

Not for sale? How come?

It's the one that I can't let go of yet. Try me in a week, after I've painted some more!
