A great day in the studio ... capturing the humid sun - David Bottini, paintings 'for Gabriel'
Ok, first, bear with me in my daily posting. I loved back in my art school days when there were people around and a spontaneous discussion in your studio was a daily event. So, my posts have made me feel like I am inviting peers into my studio for a look : )
Such a stifling hot day - helped me to push my light in an attempt to dissolve the forest - a shimmering immateriality. Getting closer to where I can begin to clarify the foreground - and exaggerate the contrasts of sharp versus soft focus.
This is a 24 X 36" stretched linen ... have not decided on a title (it was from a recent hot morning wander along the river.)
Thanks for indulging me with a "visit" - guess I should keep a pot of coffee brewing for guests.

Hello David,
I miss those art school days too - there was always a lively and inspiring discussion of art going on. Your paintings are beautiful and I look forward to seeing more and getting to know you.
Yup, I like decaf! It is nice to share ideas... Lovely work!
I think I read somewhere in your blogs, that Gabriel is your grandfather. If I am correct, your grandfather's spirit is in every branch, blade of grass and in every tree you paint. I'm impressed and sure he's guiding you every step of your journey.
Thanks for the comments ... always appreciated.
Yes - Gabe was my Italian grandfather (my profile pic is he and myself way back when cars had fins)
