You might think of a simple composition, and in part it is, but hides a little story that led me to a "daring" settlement: Crested Tit and beechnuts in the foreground and the background the great tree. With friends we went to walk up to this impressive and famous century-old plant, with ears alert to the birds sound, but not content with having only heard in the distance the calls of these tits, rare in Tuscany, I tried to attract them with their sound registered in my phone. Well, the tits came over our heads and maybe even a little irritated by our artificial calls, leaving the indelible image of this moment that I tried to represent ...
I found this painting compelling. Am fascinated by the tree/shadow. Well, all of it honestly. Thanks, I learned a lot!
ReplyDeleteLove the painting and the story.
ReplyDeleteHow very nice: the painting as well as the story.
ReplyDeleteTake care though...soon you have Crested Tits falling in love with Iphones.
We did the same with an owl in our garden. Now we are awake at night with this owl looking noisily for his digital love. :-)
