Daily Sketch No.55 Here Comes the Rain Again, Barga, Tuscany

I mentioned that I would probably be doing today’s sketch from the car and I was right! This sketch was done looking from the lower part of Barga up to the Duomo on the hillside. I liked the fresh greens on the trees.

Many people have asked if the Daily Sketches are for sale. Please send me an email if you are interested in further information regarding prices/availability etc. Email: richardclareart@gmail.com

Daily Sketch No.54 Looking from the Duomo, Barga, Tuscany

As you can see from the clouds in this sketch, the weather is very changeable at the moment. A bit of cool sunshine and then a few sharp showers. As you will gather by reading my comments that accompany my sketches, the weather is usually mentioned. As a landscape painter, the weather has a massive influence on my work. It can transform a mundane view into a spectacular subject for painting. Tomorrow, rain is expected so it may be back to doing the sketch from my car!
