San Biagio - SOLD

"San Biagio"
5 x 5 inches on Board
This is such a beautiful church near Montepulciano, Tuscany, Italy. As you drive from Pienza to Chiusi the church is hidden until one last bend in the road when it shines and looks white. This church appears for just a few seconds in the movie "Under the Tuscan Sun".
My computer was out of commission for part of last week. I'm slowly re-installing programs...I had to reformat my hard disk and lost a few files...so much for modern life.

Tuscan Painting - Chiesa di San Biagio

We were driving to the train station at Chiusi to meet Papa when as we turned in a wide sweeping bend in the road near Montepulciano a beautiful white colored church suddenly comes into view. We didn't have time to stop that day to visit nor take photos. I regreted not having the time to visit nor learn about the church. The following year as we made our plans to drive from the Dolomites to Pescara, we made a point to stay in Tuscany again so that I could visit this
beautiful Renaisance church sitting in the shadows of Montepulciano. Chiesa di San Biagio.
Oil on board, 6" x 8".

I'd painted this one a little while ago calling it Villa Massaini but didn't quite like the colors so I changed things around and here is another version of it.
