Lago di Barcis

Lago di Barcis is a beautiful little lake nestled in the mountains less than an hour away from my home.  I have visited this lake many times and I am glad I finally brought my paints.  Finding the perfect spot was tricky as it was summer and I wanted to be away from too many crowds.  I found this pretty little spot under a tree, set up in the shade, and started painting.  My goal with this piece was to capture the beautiful color of the lake and the feeling of fresh mountain air. 

I begin by blocking in the biggest shapes lightly. As I work the shapes get smaller and smaller and the layers get darker and darker.  The most exciting and challenging thing about plein air painting is often the light changes, clouds move in front of your subject, bugs start eating you, the sun bakes you, people stop you to chat, and oh so much more.  And I still love it.   

Each painting in the Wanderlust Collection Vol 1: from Japan to Italy is custom framed in Northern Italy.  The frames were created in San Geminano, Tuscany, and assembled in the Pordenone region of Italy. Each painting includes protective glass and a certificate of authenticity.

Shipping to the USA and Italy is included in the price.  For all other locations please contact melinda@heartmelinda.com.
