Casa de Campo Painting.

Casa de Campo in Chile.

Learn to paint an adobe house with tile roof. Chile in the 1800’s.

Painting Class Taught by Clina Polloni.

Casa de Campo en Chile

Casa de Campo, Chile in the 1800’s.

This painting was inspired by my life in Rabones, a valley of dreams located in the mountains of the central region of Chile. I lived for 10 years in our farm called “Las Puertas de Rabones”. I was close to God, to people, nature and to animals. Memories of golden sunny days, enjoying the company of beautiful people with spirits as clear as the crystal waters of “Rio Putagan” running through the fertile land. I learned about their culture, their traditions and the purity of their lives.
