Artist's Inspiration: I
wanted to create a Mediterranean village and all the
life it encompasses. When I travel in Europe,
exploring little towns and villages is my favorite
pastime. Then once I have looked in all
four corners (my husband has a different
expression for it), I love to sit down and enjoy
a coffee and a treat in a nice outdoor cafe. I
love how the cafes are tucked into little nooks
and crannies, like the village was an English
muffin.
This painting is a series of Italian vignettes: The
first is a house where tomatoes are being strung and
are drying in the sun. This is where sundried
tomatoes come from! My cocker spaniel is
sitting on the step. A red bicycle is parked with
all kinds of goodies from the market. Through the
wisteria framed archway is Cafe del Dolce Mama! At
the very back of the cafe is a tiny arched window
with a miniature Italian landscape. A flower shop is
laden with Tuscan sunflowers, tulips, calla lilies,
gladiolas, blue hydrangeas & curly willow. The last
little store is a gelato & Italian dessert shop
where you can get all kinds of sweet things. Its
siesta time in the village. dolce far niente - the
sweetness of doing nothing!
About egg tempera paintings:
Linda Paul uses natural crushed stone & earth mixed with a bit of water and egg yolk to make her paint. Blues come from crushed lapis lazuli, greens from malachite & natural green earth found around Verona Italy. She uses fascinating colors which have been "lost" for hundreds of years & new colors which she has discovered in the Rocky Mountains. Her earth ochers come from the ancient mines of France & Italy.
