Maymont - Italian Gardens #402




11x14 Oil on linen - Painted en Plein Air 11/11/2010 at Richmond's Maymont Park - The Italian Gardens were freshly planted a few days before. Sunny and reasonably warm - I used Naples yellow in place of white - very effective at reducing colour. I did a quick 8x10 study of the far fountain on 11/8/2010 in preparation (top) using titanium white

These are so gorgeous. And that place looks like "heaven". I want to go paint there.

Hi Sandra, worth the trip - in my backyard and never went there. Artist friendly too

I was there about 4 years ago. It is absolutely gorgeous! You're very fortunate to live so close to such an exciting place to paint.

Is this painting still for sale? If so, who can I contact for additional information?

Stephanie,
