"The Abbey, Civita Castellana", 12"x 14",
oil, 2005, NFS
This is an old
church that is under renovation. Once again, the area had great views all
around.
It seems as the week went on I just wanted to have buildings in my paintings,
so I seemed
to always pick a view with a building. The other thing being it was an overcast
day I didn't
have to worry about changing light so much so I stuck with it all day. I really
do wish now that
I had keep up with two paintings a day but I just really
wanted these buildings I guess. It was
wonderful to sit in the field and listen to all those bees working in the
clover. A sound I will
always associate with this time in Italy.
