Tuscany Valley


The Tuscan countryside often looks like a patchwork of various greens, dotted with pinks, browns and lavenders. Altho I moved many elements around to create a more defined composition, I think I could have eliminated more of the shapes. Its always a balancing act to capture the character of the landscape, including all its colorful spots of information, and simplifying the scene for more dramatic impact.

Patti, really nice slicing of beautiful shapes and colors. Reminds me of a Cezanne although your colors are more powerful and lush- a good thing.
