Hilltowns of Elba

oil on board

9.5" x 13"

$75.

The Virtual Paintout went to Elba this month. Elba is an island off the coast of Tuscany best known for "hosting" Napoleon during his first exile. I wanted to paint something that captured Italy's unique qualities - the lush vegetation, the walled towns on so many hill tops, the old and the new side by side.

This painting can be seen along with my other works at my Gallery at The Daily Paintworks. It can be purchased there, or bought directly through me by clicking the "Paypal" logo on the sidebar. Thank you for stopping to look.

Has a very "in the hills" feeling about it. I especially like the foliage and sky.

To purchase a Painting.

All paintings are for sale unless other wise noted. I prefer to use Paypal, it is easy and secure. Using The Daily Paintworks website makes it even easier - there is a link below each painting.

There is a small shipping fee. Paypal will automatically add this, For more information, please contact me at:

patriciamusgrave7@yahoo.com

For purchases outside the US, please contact me, or go to The Daily Paintworks, where the information is available.

You may, of course, return a painting you don't like, but please contact me within 3 working days. Send the painting back, and I will issue a refund, minus the full shipping fees (generally, I pay a portion of them). I want my customers to be happy with my work.

I have made every effort to match the digital color of the image you see to the paintings, but not all monitors, lighting effects or digital cameras are totally accurate and some variation will occur.

Artist's Statement

My main goal as a painter is to express the beauty I see around me. I feel that this is my mission in life, and I take it seriously.

I love the process of painting, itself, and me, color is the best part. I see color theory as an evolving concept, one that never ceases to amaze and delight, so to learn more, to do better... this is where I am a seeker!

I hope you enjoy these paintings, I think I can honestly say I work long and hard over them. Not because I'm a perfectionist - I'm certainly not - but because I understand that all these pieces will last a very long time. Artists, I think must also be craftsmen. We must strive to create a thing of integrity and (for me) beauty for others to share in and enjoy.

Thank you for looking!
