Nona's Patio - #24 of 30

"Nona's Patio" - 6x6 - Oil on Canvas
"El Patio de la Nona" - 15x15cm - Oleo


It is very interesting through this 30 day painting process to observe how I tackle things differently each day according to my mood.  Some days I have the patience to do more detailed and/or precise work, some other days, I should just do big blobs of colour as I have zero patience for correcting!  Today is  the latter. :)
I like the little story that can come up from this scene, we can imagine how many dinners and chats have happened at this table.
This came from a place we stayed at in Tuscany, North of Rome in a tiny town called Scansano close to Maremma. We stayed at a convent (Convento del Preteto) built in the 1300's which has been turned into apartments. Very Cool!

Es muy interesante observar este proceso de 30 días de pintura y cómo cada día es diferente de acuerdo a mis estados de ánico.  Algunos días tengo mucha paciencia para hacer trabajo mas preciso y detallado, otros días, sólo debería hacer manchas grandes de colores y nada más ya que no tengo nada de paciencia para corregir nada! Hoy es uno de esos días!  :)
Me gustan las historias que podemos inventar al ver una imágen como esta, podemos imaginar la cantidad de comidas y charlas que ocurrieron en esta mesa.
Esto salió de un lugar en el que nos alojamos en la Toscana, hacia el Norte de Roma, en este pueblo chiquito llamado Scansano en la zona de Maremma. Pasamos una noche en este convento (Convento del Preteto) construido en los 1300s que fue transformado en departamentos. Muy bueno!

    But you have captured the pots of Geraniums perfectly with such simple 'blobs' - I think this is a lovely atmospheric painting.

    1. Thank you Tammie! It was a beautiful spot for sure and a good exercise to eliminate the unnecessary information in the small format :)
