After watching the recent Illustrators Circle 'Abstraction Distraction' Zoom I wanted to recall a lovely memory from Italy. It was close to sunset and a group of us decided to start painting the Marche landscape before us. Over the course of 30 minutes the colours changed and melded with only the dots of distant olive groves remaining as a constant. This is how I image the transition to dusk could have looked as a series of abstract landscapes.
