Cypress Alleyway Half and Half
Half photograph, half painting of Cypress Alleyway, Castello di Reschia in Umbria, Italy.
The original photo and painting
You can see how the painting was developed from a charcoal sketch to the finished work here in a previous Weekly Photo Challenge:Layers, which I also titled Birth of a Painting, in November 2013.This painting of Venice from 2008 was inspired by Turner’s Venetian watercolours and seemed appropriate to post after my last three exercises from the chapter in Lesson’s from the Great Master’s entititled Joseph Mallord William Turner: colour harmony.
