Montone

[Grapes]

This is an older landscape that started as a pleinair but the painting time was short that I had to finish it in the studio hence it's not pleinair anymore.
This was painted in Montone - very high hill town in Umbria, Italy. We lived up in a hill and came down to the valley to paint this.

Oil on canvas, size about 24x38 cm.
I'm not sure if I posted this here before but I kinda like the mountain range how it turned out by form and color.

Great variety of forms and shades of green. Very nice!

Thanks, Joy!

You must be reading my mind, Grapes. I’m having a hard time learning how to mix greens and here are some very natural greens in a gorgeous painting for me to admire. I like how your greens progress from yellow-greens to blue-greens as they move into the distance.

Donna, thank you!
Greens can be tough to mix and paint. Always a struggle.

I also like the way the foreground tress stand out and the mountains "disappear" into the BG. Looks almost 3D.

The foreground stands out to me. Very minimal in paint but very full in definitions.
