This original sculpted artwork
was painted in pure egg tempera made from natural
crushed stone & earth mixed with a bit of water and
egg yolk.. Blues come from crushed lapis lazuli,
greens from malachite & natural green earth found
around Verona Italy. Painter Linda Paul 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.

The Sketch
I begin my sketching out the main elements
that I want
I wanted to play off my last painting,
Angels in the Vines. with a a similar
window, surrounded by grapevines, with a
view of a vineyard in the background. |
|
Sculpting
This stage I sculpt in bas-relief the grapes and vines.
Once it is sculpted , I can not change the
location of any items. Sculpting is always slow, but lots of fun |
|
Painting begins
The painting part begins! I am starting to
lay down my base color. Even though this is not a
very pretty stage of the artwork, its very important
because the base colors I start with set the mood
and direct the color palette that I choose for
subsequent layers. I speak of layers because
an egg tempera painting is layer upon layer of thin
color washes. It is the exact opposite of a oil
painting created with thick color and a palette
knife. By sculpting the artwork first in bas-relief, I add incredible texture and a tactile element to
the painting |
 |
I have started to work on
the background landscape of the painting and have
added a bit of color to the sculpted grapes around
the window. I am creating terraced vineyards
and a road leading to the fields. I have developed the vineyard landscape to the point
that I can start painting the sculpted grapes and
leaves around the window. I still have more
work to do on it though. I really love the
colors of a vineyard in fall, so I will carry that
theme throughout the artwork. I plan to paint the
grapes in shades of amethyst purple, green and
raspberry merlot and
the leaves in both green and turning leaf fall
colors |
|
I am working on the grapes and leaves
that surround the window. I work from light to dark
(the opposite of an oil painting) so the leaves
start out yellow, then I layer spice colors of oranges
and golds, and
finally the greens. Then I take off some off the top
color to reveal the light underneath ( I like
complex layered color). Finally I will
deepen some areas to make the colors pop. I
still have not decided whether I will darken the
background behind the grapes. Painting is a journey
that only creates magic when you go with the flow
and let it draw you in a direction |

This artwork is really starting to move together
as a cohesive piece now.
The colors I am using are the "in colors"
for 2009.
Even though I use natural pigments to make my
egg tempera paint, I can blend them in any way
to create any color I envision. You can decorate and
inspire an entire room
just from using the colors in this painting.

"Hi Linda have just received THE WINE CELLAR
(original painting). It beats all expections, I
really am blown away by it. from a very HAPPY JEFF,
South Hampton UK "
The Tuscany Window tile mural is absolutely
beautiful. It is a great feature in my wine cellar
and reminds me of my days spent in Tuscany.
Everyone who visits my cellar is very complimentary.
Thanks, Tim
"Dear Linda, I have never ordered any artwork online before and I was amazingly surprised to have received the most beautiful canvas art print "Tuscany in the Mist".
The quality looks like an original and it works
perfectly with my master bedroom decor. I have
shared with my friends and they could not believe it
was a print. I am going to look for more
of your work soon. It was also so nice
to be able to talk to you about the piece before I
purchased it. You made me feel comfortable
that I could return it if I was not happy with it
for our money back. Donna Snyder, Ormond
