| Santa Maria from Assisi. 24x36. Oil on board by Christy Olsen. |
Tuscany is an Italian province surrounded by beautiful rustic countryside with yellow, red, and orange flowers and is also known for its Renaissance history and influence on high culture. However, the lesser-known province of Umbra is the home of the "Umber" pigment originally extracted from this mountainous province. It was used to make the famous Old Master's palette colors such as "Raw Umber" and "Burnt Umber." Original works in this show have umber and burnt sienna.
I didn't realize it at the time but now looking back in retrospect on the last few years, I have been painting a collection of scenery, colors and souvenirs that revolve around my former 2012 trip to Italy, where I visited Umbra, Tuscany and Rome.”
