Day 90: Moody Mornings

Day 90: Moody Mornings

Everyone has moody mornings, even the weather. Really I’m glad for a bit of moody weather for a change.Moody Morning on the Mugnone6×8″Oil on Panel© Kelly Medford, 2012I sat on a little bridge to paint this morning with the wind whipping and the clouds threatening rain. What a relief after the last 2 months of relentless heat.It was even my lucky day! An older who saw me painting decided I needed a coffee and so he brought me one without even asking. The perks of painting outside!I loved the soft grasses along with the greens, blues and purples in this scene. Unfortunately I’m in a hurry to catch a train this afternoon for my next leg of our trip to the seaside in Liguria, so today’s post will have to be short and sweet. This little river called the Mugnone is the other river besides the Arno flowing through Florence.  It runs through a neighborhood called Le Cure, which is one of the loveliest in Florence full of gardens and trees and restored old houses. There are several small foot bridges crossing the river which all look towards the hillside town of Fiesole. Truly a great way to spend a morning.You can buy today’s painting here from my website for $120.Thanks so much for your interest in the 120 Day Project! Stay tuned for Ligurian beach town paintings!
