Two New Pieces
With a shorter time span between shows at the Plantation gallery, I have only finished two new pieces to display. Both of these are from Italy. The first comes from a trip where we stayed on an agri-resort in the Puglia region. This was a great base for exploring that region of southern Italy. In between visiting sites around the region, I would wander the fields and gardens of the resort. One day I stumbled on a secluded pond with an interesting statue in the trees. I wanted to capture the peace and beauty of the scene. I call this one Garden Goddess.
The other is from a photo that one of my daughters shot in Florence. I was intrigued by the way the duck was standing on the wall as if proclaiming that this was his place. I also found the duck to be quite different in appearance from our local ones. I named this painting It's Just Ducky here in Italy.
