Giardino Martin Lutero, Florence

Giardino Martin Lutero, FlorenceI painted this artwork on location in the Giardino Martin Lutero in Florence. I loved the morning light hitting the archway and columns of the church entrance, and the bright pops of red of the roses in the garden outside! Unframed size 24 cm (H) x 18cm (W) x 1cm (D) (approx 9. 5 x 7 inches). Additional information: This original artwork was painted on Linen Canvas Board using high quality Michael Harding oil paints and finished with Gamvar gloss

I loved painting this snowy scene with the ducks by the pond and the church in the distance

particularly of the shadows

I loved the aspect of the manor house in the distance

I loved the colour harmony of the bright autumn leaves against the greys of the ruined hall and muted reflections on the lake

The vibrant pinks of these fragrant and graceful Strawberry Hill roses caught my eye

the addition of raw umber to my palette helps so much with the very subtle greys of the rocks
