ARTS AND MINIATURES: Re-starting with a greenhouse

Re-starting with a greenhouse

Today I decided that it was time to clean-up the studio and re-start working on my projects after this hard winter. And as the sky is so blue today I choosed to put on the table one of my greenhouses and try to finish it.

I know already that I´m not able to discipline myself and I will go on jumping from a project to another till the next winter....

I bought this greenhouse in Seville, already with this finish, I would prefer the white colour, but I think they only supply this colour.

Two years ago I started already to paint a trompe l´oeil in tempera for the background but today when I saw it I decided to finish it in oil or re-start from the beginning because I´m not satisfied with it. You know that oils can be applied over tempera, but the contrary is not possible.

This is the set I choosed to the decorate the inside, I had it already.

I hope to show you more photos as soon as possible.

Ana, this looks wonderful! A great project for spring. I love the painted backdrop and the kitty on the roof. I also see behind it all you have a beautiful garden - you are so lucky. Here in Alberta, Canada it will be a few months yet before we see green like this. Enjoy!

Ana, I wish I had the talent to paint such wonderful trompe l'oeil! If you think this isn't good enough I can't imagine what you will do next. That litle setting is lovely. This will be a great project to 'watch' :)

I think your painting is lovely as it is, but
it will be great to see how you will change it!
I like the furnitures too and the little
gazebo itself of course!

HERCOLANEUM AND POMPEII

Hercolaneum was founded by Hercules according to mythological tradition . In 63A.D. the town was hit by a earthquake which attended all the Campania, and a few years later in 79 A.D. was devasted by the eruption of Vesuvios. When the eruption ended Hercolaneum was covered with a thick layer of mud (at some points over 10 meters deep). Abandoned by its inhabitants this town was never rebuilt.

The same happened to Pompeii, the reconstruction work that followed the earthquake was not yet completed when on August 24th, 79 AD Vesuvius unexpectedly awoke, submerging the countryside with ashes,, cinder and eruptive material, while rivers of lava mixed with mud followed down.

In 20 AD the Volcano was considered extinct by Strabone a geographer, therefore the population was taken by surprise and many of them were killed trying to escape. The eruption of the Volcano was so imense that the top part of the crater collapsed forming the present caldera.

This tragedy that lasted for three long days arrived to us through the letters of the writter Pliny the Younger to Tacitus.
Pompeii remained buried under a layer of ash with more than six meters deep preserving all the evidence of life by that moment, which came mericulously to light more than two centuries ago.
