November marks the.time for olive harvest in Italy ....the olives are ripe and "olive picking season" has started ....posting a couple of the watercolour studies of olive branches I painted this week .
While all are lovely, the last is my favorite. It has strength and speaks well of black olives, my favorite.
RispondiEliminaBeautiful studies, Jane!
RispondiEliminaThese olive studies are really gorgeous, Jane - I love those hints of pink in the background, it really highlights the olives and makes them stand out.
RispondiEliminaTruly beautiful, Jane! Your paintings are pure watercolour magic!
RispondiEliminaBelli come sempre e come sempre inconfodibilmente tuoi! Un abbraccio.
RispondiEliminaMe gusta mucho el acabado de las olivas en húmedo, contrastando la débil y definida silueta de las hojas.
RispondiEliminaPrecioso, de verdad.
Son unas acuarelas delicadas y hermosas. Enhorabuena y un abrazo.
RispondiEliminaBoth are very beautiful in your unmistakable gracious, clean and delicate style!

RispondiEliminaHello Jane:) I'm a great admirer of your beautiful washes. These are so beautiful. I love the close-up. Wonderful:)
RispondiEliminaHello Jane, your studies are quite beautiful :)
RispondiEliminaJane these olives are such great studies. So November is olive time in Italy...this is something I did not know. Do the olive bushes grow fairly tall? I have never seen them growing. I love them on salad and pizza here in the U.S. Take care and have a wonderful day.
