Weekend Site Villa Montalvo, Jan 26, 2013

The
day started out inauspiciously: rain on the drive to Saratoga, the
long sweep of lawn below the Villa torn up for refurbishment (so there were no
grand views of the main building) and grey skies & drizzle for my first,
monumentally unsuccessful painting. After lunch I thought
it best to tackle a less 'grand' subject and settled on a large
urn. The sun came out, the sky turned a clear blue --- life
was good (and the painting better) -Brad Santos

After looking around the grounds, in the grey and rainy
morning, I chose a spot in the Italian Garden. The light and the mood changed in
the beautiful garden as the skies cleared and I worked to finish the painting.
It was well into the afternoon when I stopped - Rajit Chandra
