"Enter Loveliness"... Just like the front door of a house invites you to enter whatever is going on inside, a painting can invite you to enter a mood, an emotion, a new way if seeing. Late in this not-too-hot summer, the farmhouse at Milfiori is embraced by green. So much growth has taken place over the warm months that it's hard to see much of the house. Usually this overabundance of green leaves me hungry for color variety. Greens are hard to paint in an interesting way and too much of it in a painting can limit where that painting can fit into someone's home. But this is a moment in time when the lighting handed me a breath-catching peek at the choreography of a yellow house and the yellow-greens, lavenders, and blue-greens dancing with it. The result is almost monochromatic, soft, restful...summer morning at its best. I love how art can capture that moment, inviting you to enter at any time.
