Hilltop Villa


'Hilltop Villa' keeps pulling me back - challenging me to work on my values between foreground, middle ground, and background. You can see the background is pushed back by using lighter, grayer colors and less contrast. This is a common sight in the outskirts of Firenze (Florence). Ahh - Italy - I miss her! See an enlargement below.

Blossom Magic 4

"Blossom Magic 4" is the fourth in my Apple Blossom series. Each time I strive to get looser and lighter in color and form. Really like this composition - it's got lots of movement and good contrast. I had fun using blue for the leaves instead of green. Gives it a fresh, lively feel.
