Vines Campriano, late evening


Last October I went to Campriano in Tuscany with a group of American painters specifically to paint plein air (outside) in oils.  I came back with half a dozen paintings, some less successful than others.  This was the one I liked best, but it didn't quite work as I had hoped.  I revisited it recently, strengthened the contrasts in the foreground vines and changed the hue of some of the shadows.  It pleases me more now, and reminds me of a good holiday with a great bunch of people.  I thoroughly recommend Maddine Insalaco and her painting courses.
