Late in the afternoon, after we had visited and painted the hill towns of Umbria, our group of artists would come back to the monastery for a siesta before dinner. Some of us would paint in the studio, an old chapel from the 1600s. I often wandered the grounds and worked outside, trying to capture the light that makes paintings of Italy so special. This little potted olive tree and dramatic, diagonal shadow in our courtyard caught my eye.

Today was plein air day at Wellers again and it couldn’t have been a better day for a pastel landscape . I spent a good 5 hours out there and painted 3 pieces. There are endless possibilities at this beautiful site. but this pot of freshly planted geraniums caught my eye. I wasn’t expecting to do a floral pastel painting, but you gotta go with what sparks your imagination!

One more plein air watercolor painting of our friend’s garden. These geraniums were perched jauntily on the garden wall and caught the bright sunlight perfectly. I especially liked the way they blooms were highlighted against the dark red maple in the background.
