Finally back
Hi to all.
I am finally back after my computer has been hospitalized for three weeks, and internet cafe' is not the same thing!
I am posting some work from this summer: this is part one from a double portrait of my sister and her husband. He was calm and relaxed and sit for me willingly. My goal was to paint freely keeping the edges open. I am quite happy with the result, specially because it was painted entirely from life and not in my comfortable studio, I find it very much 'like him'.
The blue background makes the picture less serious and with a summery feeling, my sister's one has an ochre one that complements this one.
Patrizio was sitting in a patio garden under a pinewood, surrounded by very green grass, which reflects clearly on the right part of his face.
The painting is on linen, 35x40 cm.
