Stay Put
You can find some big olive trees in the Tuscany region of Italy.
Occasionally, you might see a majestic one standing amongst
a grove of much younger trees. It is a sight to behold.
This is my entry to The Summer of Color, Paint Party Friday and IF.

Tuscany has always been on my wish list of destinations and studying your painting is making me pine for it even more so. I have a bad case of Wanderlust at the moment and you are to blame :)
Astonishing painting.

Wow! Love the beautiful texture in this wonderful olive tree! Olives are one of my favorites and I eat them every day! Never met an olive I did not love, even in a painting!
I like the feel of this. Makes me wish I could see the texture.
So beautiful.
You've achieved fantastic texture in this painting. Great artwork.
ich beneide dich um dein talent!! die farben sind dermaßen schön kombiniert, eine tolle stimmung hast du gezaubert!!
Oh wow your painting is so beautiful, love all the shading and your terrific brushwork, Annette x
This is really beautiful!!! I've never been to Toscany, but looking at this, you can almost taste and smell the atmosphere, and the air of romance.
Greetings from Yvon
This is truly beautiful! Love it
Lovely, I really like the intensity of the shadows in contrast to the softness of everything else.
A wonderful job!
Even here in Sardinia there are olive trees, ours is an ancient land full of these plants :-))
Ciao!!
Lovely sight, captured in your awesome painting! Nice!
gorgeous work, cynnie! olive trees look so gnarly & wonderful...i love the colors you used as well...
How I'd love to be sitting under that gorgeous tree what a cool drink in my hand. Stunning work, Cinnie! Hugs, Terri xoxo
Cynnie, as I am not an artist on your scale, I don't even know enough to comment on this piece except to say "Wow, I really, really love this!" You are truly a talented artist on so many levels!
Wonderful painting! Lovely tecture too. I really love seeing olive trees too. But last time I made the foolish mistake of trying to eat an olive off the branch. Yuck.
this is very well done...i really like the texture here... just lovely how the older tree is mixed within the newer ones...beautifully done!
oh how lovely dear Cynnie!
for some reason your beautiful Olive Tree reminds me of Ferdinand the bull sitting under the cork tree...I used to read that to our three boys when they were little...
beautiful painting as always!

oh I do LOVE your painting! I am taking an imaginary walk right now near your olive tree- just lovely. xo teri
Fantastic!
Living amongst olive trees in the Valencian region of Spain..I also find myself often in awe by the larger ones..the locals say some olives can be one to two thousand years old..this makes me stand near them..guess there age and think about the events that have past whilst they had stood there...Your painting is a great tribute to that!
I just love seeing your paintings. This one is beautiful. That is such an awesome talent you have..
Thanks so much for sending me to artsee blogger. You are so kind.
Hugs, Linda
Your work is wonderful, a beautiful texture and color very well used.
Quite right, the big trees in proposcionam always a spectacle.
A hug!
I think this is one part of the world I would like to see...not that it will ever happen....and your painting has captured the wonderful colors and shapes of the olive grove.
good, very godd I like it!!
Cynthia, your painting is gorgeous!!
What a dream to be in Tuscany, and sit there and paint... dream like this painting too. :-)
What a fabulous painting, Cynnie. Makes me long to return to Tuscany - except that it will be too hot and I'll be bitten by all the insects. LOL
I wanna go!! Especially after seeing this - it is warm and beautiful. Thank you for sharing this wonderful painting with us, xo
Really magnificent, soft, yet strong!!!

Love it...I planted an olive tree in my tiny yard....seeing how large this one is scares me...I never knew ...lol...but all is good....I adore the colours you have used and love the style you. have used too...beautiful...xxx
This is lovely, Cynthia. The textured paper and soft colors infuse your painting with spirit. The dark colors in the trunk add a nice sense of history and mystery.
Very Mystic & Beautiful! Hugs,Tee
Wow Cynthia, this is beautiful.

On my bucket list!
Hugs Lynn
