I went out on the terrace in the sunset to make a quick painting of a bouquet of flowers that I brought yesterday. So much fun! “Flowers of the Terrace” Oil on panel – 9 1/2″ x 8″ | 24 x 20 cm unframed
I love these days in summer above all. Fresh afternoons in which all the humidity of the sea rises and the time seems to be suspended.
I had things to do in the studio today. I am renovating the website but I have looked out on the terrace on a break and it was amazing the light that was on the field while a tractor was picking up all the hay.
Happy with this cloudy day that at last I have not come soaked in rain home. It’s not too hot, so it’s been one of those nice days to be out.
This afternoon while I was painting some children played down with the waves. More than once I have been surprised laughing, its vitality and laughter filled the place.
Today I had no idea to put myself here to paint. I pass here almost every day and a certain day at a certain time suddenly draws your attention and you have the urgent need to catch that moment.
There is something very mysterious on the roads and especially these summer days when the night is coming so slowly that your dreams seem to be endless.
I open the box, easel, and everything else in the middle of nowhere. I start painting, wow! This is going well!…and then come three gardeners armed to the teeth light the chainsaws… Bye bye silence, birds…
