Another great day, ending a terrific 3 day painting workshop at a Tuscan vineyard in Los Gatos, CA. Father Bruno Segatta is a terrific coach and a terrific guy. Met some lovely people, mostly artists. Ate great gourmet meals al fresco with good wine too. Just fabulous.
Painted 2 today: olive trees on a hillside reminiscent of the Sinesi countryside, 16x20", acrylic on canvas; small watercolor of flowers, trees, lamppost, etc. on the road up the hillside, 5x7", watercolor on paper.
This estate is incredible. All built from scratch over 25 years to look like it had been there for 500 years, and the illusion is fabulous, homey, and just thrilling. Ponds, houses, vineyards, olive groves, gardens both formal and kitchen, animals, old trees, artifacts all over the place, vintage cars.... abbondanza!
