 "Vineyard in Tuscany", 6x12 x2, oil on cradled Ampersand panel.

This painting came together in my mind before it made it to the canvas. I decided I wanted soft, happy colors, and thick, thick paint. The result is an exuberantly colored vineyard set within dreamy mountains.

I applied much of the paint with a palette knife, creating, luscious impasto. This painting is on cradled board that is 2 inches in depth. It can be hung on the wall with or without a frame.

I have been unable to paint for months now, due to a back injury. This was the first painting I have done in many months. My back will never be completely healed, but I will continue to try to paint for as long as I can.

I have had many cats in my lifetime; Lizzy Belle was a sweetie. I have been tempted to go to St. Francis cat rescue here in town and check out the rescues there, but I know I will never leave without a cat, and I  know it's not a good time for me to take on a kitty.

Anyway, I was happy to get this little painting completed today. If you would like to bring Lizzy home, just click this link to my website.
