This little video perfectly sums up my vision of the beautiful region that I have chosen as my home: Umbria. Spoleto, Orvieto, Perugia, Norcia and Assisi are just a few of the places that you can get a peek of.

I hadn't painted in 10 years when in February 2012 I decided to pick up my brushes, inspired by Duane Kaiser and his Daily Painting Movement.  

 I needed discipline and the idea of painting a small painting every day was exactly what I needed to get back in the saddle.

 Needless to say it was incredibly difficult at the beginning.  Can you imagine what it would be like if you hadn't spoken for 10 years? What would your first words sound like?

 I would spend hours trying to put to paint the humble object I had in front of me, every day.  It was like an appointment I had with myself.  I'm a very hardheaded person and was ultimately determined to paint my still life so it resembled the actual fruit or flower before me.  It took months and so many hours. 

I've decided to start 2015 with a Daily Painting Project for the month of January knowing that it will help me concentrate and focus my energy on upcoming projects. I will be posting a new painting to this blogpost every day so stay tuned!

 Have you ever done a daily project of any kind?  I'd love to hear about it.

Thank you!

Non avevo dipinto in 10 anni, quando nel febbraio 2012, ho deciso di prendere i miei pennelli, ispirati da Duane Kaiser e la sua Daily Painting Project.

 Avevo bisogno di disciplina e l'idea di dipingere un piccolo quadro ogni giorno era esattamente quello di cui che avevo bisogno per ricominciare.

 Inutile dire che è stato incredibilmente difficile all'inizio. Puoi immaginare che cosa sarebbe se non avessi parlato per 10 anni? Come suonerebbero le tue prime parole?

 Passavo ore a cercando di dipingere l'oggetto umile che avevo di fronte a me. Avevo questo appuntamento quotidiano con me stessa. Sono una persona molto testarda ed infine avevo deciso di dipingere questo oggetto che avevo davanti a me. Ci sono voluti mesi e tante ore.

 Ho deciso di iniziare il 2015 con un Painting Progetto giornaliera per il mese di gennaio, sapendo che mi aiuterà a concentrarmi e focalizzare le mie energie su progetti futuri. Pubblicherò un nuovo dipinto su questo blogpost ogni giorno quindi rimanete sintonizzati!

 Avete mai fatto un progetto quotidiano di qualsiasi tipo? Mi piacerebbe saperlo.

About me

I'm a Painter.

Just like you, I enjoy finding and marveling at apparently insignificant things such as wildflowers picked on a morning walk, a local fruit right out of an orchard, or an Italian landscape especially at sunset when the colors warm up.

I love simplicity & quality and I embed these values in my paintings by using only the finest Italian oil paints and supports. When you purchase a Barragan Painting you're buying a timeless original that will last for generations. Each painting is signed on the front & back and sold with a Certificate of Authenticity.
