Trevi Olives

Oil on canvas (70 x 100cm)

This impasto technique oil painting is of Trevi in Umbria between Foligno and Spoleto just off the SS3. One of its claims to fame (apart from having been painted by me) is that it has a lot of original Roman mosaic road paving. If you are a follower of my work you'll have noticed that I haven't painted landscapes in this classical sense. I have the opinion that it's very hard to capture the majesty of open country without creating a mythical looking painting. With this early sunset I wanted depth (hence the olive grove) but make the Trevi the centre piece. I also wanted the sky to be tall, hence painted the landscape in portrait. Of course I have a few characters resting under the olive trees, it's sunset and olive picking season so I'm sure they deserved it. I rather like it.

Extra Comments on Delivery and My Limited Edition Prints

The artist print on canvas quoted above is a limited edition of 5 at the original size and is sold stretched over a wooden frame ready to be hung. This series is a 'Relief Geclee', which is a technique I've been working on where I apply a thick, textured clear acrylic coat to the print. This captures the lights in a similar way to the original, produces a textured effect that adds personality, individuality and realism to each of the limited editions. The result is a very good reproduction of the original. Each print is signed, dated and numbered on the back as well as coming with a certificate from the publishing company (signed by myself and the publisher) confirming that the series at the original size on canvas is limited to only 5 copies.

For more details and a picture of the certificate see my Terms page or contact me directly from here.
