Dark Tuscan Sky 2010
Charon
Acrylics and Dulux paint on Board
I went to Tuscany several times in the 1990s. I enjoyed visiting this part of Italy – but I would have enjoyed it more had the skies been dark and slightly surreal. I found an old photograph, drank some of Infobunny’s Damson Gin and some wine and painted. Still not quite finished….. as I may make the sky even darker. Doing the poppies was fun…. applied with a cake icing bag full of undiluted Crimson RED as I wanted them to stand out on the board surface! (Sky was Dulux paint mixed up applied with spray gun – Obviously had to do that first. So.. if I want darker sky… a lot of brushwork ahead of me…. time consuming)

That painting is striking…if it ever needs a home 🙂 Tuscany is a wonderous place. Stayed in Panzano last year on the Le Fonti estate, Chianti in full supply.
Oh Charon, that is beautiful! I love the idea of the darker sky as well, beauty and darkness sit well together:-)
Love it xxx
I really do love that one… mmm actually I would go so far as saying I would love a print of that hanging on my lounge wall in Spain.
