Cella di San Francesco
6"x8" Oil on Canvas Panel
Palette Knife Painting
While visiting a peaceful monestary in Tuscany I did a quick sketch of this large old stump that had obviously rotted from the inside out but had been wired back together to preserve as much of it as possible. Overlooking a hillside of olive trees, it made an attractive pedestal for a lovely pot of flowers. As I painted this scene, I wondered about the old stump. Why was it so carefully tended & preserved? What type of tree was it? Did it mark a spot that had some type of special meaning? Whatever the case, the large grand tree was gone but not forgotten. "Live large by enjoying the beauty of this earth & you will have grand memories."Thank you for viewing my palette knife paintings.
