The dialogue between the photograph and the painting as it changes continues until that moment when the conversation ends and the painting is considered finished. The two photographs were taken at the magical Castello di Reschio in Umbria and the paintings completed in my studio back home. I have previously posted the different stages of the second painting, entitled Cypress Alleyway, in response to a previous WPC: Layers, for those of you who would like to have a “virtual” studio visit.

Hi Andrew! Once again, I am inspired 🙂 I especially love the attention you placed recently on your Ruby Anniversary – congratulations and thank you for sharing your joy with us. Your art of the Umbria country-side stirs in me the feelings I had when I was Tuscany and other parts of Italy. What a magical landscape and country. Your works from there are beautiful!
