La Romita

Before leaving La Romita, I sat in front of this ancient olive tree and tried to capture the twists and turns, bits of sunlight and that incredible blue-grey foliage of olives.

The trees were in flower ... a delicate, soft white/grey that one could hardly see .. but promised that ever popular fruit that has made Italy, and this region, famous.

I took many photos of the olives and will paint several more .. I just love them!

    NICELY done, Miss Lin, the color of the foliage and its delicacy is beautiful...

    I saw my first large olive tree in the south of France...and yes...the incredible blue-green of the foliage...so beautiful. I think you captured it perfectly.
