Italian Courtyard

[pat1940]

Done in oil, ref from internet, artist Frank Duveneck, I really enjoyed doing this as I love all the texture in it

Your enjoyment shows through, Pat. This is awesome

I really like the textures of the walls and the atmosphere around them ...

Me gusta mucho las texturas de los muros y la atmósfera que los rodea...

A really exceptional piece, the atmosphere is tranquil.

This is wonderful Pat - the way you have integrated the colours makes me wish I could look over your shoulder while you are painting.

This is both a geographic and time travelling, dear June! What a marvellous outcome! It reminds some central-southern village of post war Italian comedies and neo-realistic movies with Vittorio De Sica, Gina Lollobrigida, Marcello Mastroianni etc. were acting. Good old times ...
Your painting is a little masterpiece where You captired perfectly the light of a bright day on this ancient looking village. Several artists here produced paintings and lythographiies with the many mountain, hill and sea village who kept their picturesque views along a couple of centuries or more and there's still a market for the disappearing best of them (especially the ones no more with us, such as Enotrio or Aldo Riso).
