In The Park In Bergamo

I have just come back (October 2014) from a painting trip to Bergamo, a beautiful town in Lombardy in Italy. I have recently published paintings from the upper and the lower town, here are some from a wonderful little park I visited in the lower town.

I found that park per accident, as I was on my way from the flat I had rented in Bergamo to the train station. I adored it, it was really peaceful and idyllic. I could not resist, once more, to paint the local swans... I love to paint birds, and swans are so gracious, at least as long as they are swimming on the water... outside the water, they look a bit clumsy sometimes... and a bit dangerous when they come closer! In the park, the scene was wonderful with the colours of autumn and the blue sky reflecting in the water...

See and read more about the park in Bergamo in my main blog.
