For the Love of Acqueducts

For the Love of Acqueducts

One of the most fascinating and awe-inspiring sights in Rome are its ancient aqueducts.These giants which sprout from miles of bare field have inspired painters Italian and foreign alike for centuries.Here are just a couple that I’ve painted over the summer as a part of the 120 Day Project.Clouds over Frascati, Parco degli Acquedotti6×8″Oil on Panel© Kelly MedfordI just loved painting this one, it was an especially moody day for summer with those clouds hanging over the distant mountains. The slivers of light shining through the arches of the aqueduct really set the painting off.You can see or purchase this painting hereAqueduct Alley, Via del Mandrione8×6″Oil on Panel© Kelly MedfordThis is an exciting and unique place- it’s an alley created by 2 parallel ancient Roman aqueducts. Even though cars love to whizz through here, it’s not a place to be taken for granted.Read the full story about this special place hereSee or purchase this painting here. See all paintings from the 120 Day Project here.https://kellymedford.com/collections/48556Upcoming Workshops…December 15&16 Rome Cityscape for details click hereAugust 21-28, 2013 The Art of the Painted Sketch for details click here
