Story / Additional InfoThe artist was inspired by a trip to Italy and the rolling hills of the countryside around Sienna, with red tile roofs and verdant landscape. The artist began a painting that tried to capture the atmosphere of this place but the first version did not go well. She worked on it over a period of time and finally began to cut up paper strips and collaged them into the existing composition that became a landscape with textural elements resembling a quilt or tapestry. The final product involved oil paints added to the existing underlying paint producing a product the artist calls painted collage. She was influenced by the fauvist landscape artists in this work.
