Natural Pool Painting

There are places where time stops and everything remains the same year after year, despite everything. Every summer I return to paint this immutable scenario from a different perspective. This precious body of water offers a moment of pause to the continuous flow of the water of the Ciuffenna Torrent, in the woods of Valdarno in Tuscany, Italy. An unexpected and refreshing vision, in the torrid summer it invites you to immerse yourself and cool off in its icy but docile and welcoming waters. The swimming pool is accessed via a steep path that winds through the woods. Having placed my equipment on the rocks, I began my painting sessions with a bath and a small picnic and continued painting for a few hours in silence, accompanied by the incessant noise of the water plunging into the pool and then flowing into the next one through a small waterfall. Finally, I gave the finishing touches over time in my studio, based on my memories and impressions of the place, recalling the sensations I feel when the forest opens up and welcomes me into its sweet, fresh waters and its timeless atmosphere. This painting is made on a plywood poplar board, prepared by the artist with traditional "gesso" primer made of rabbit-skin glue and Bologna gypsum. After complete drying, it was finished and protected with final varnish. The board is also painted on the edges. It already has a hook and can be hung with or without a frame. It is sold without a frame. It is sold with a certificate of authenticity.
