The washing line


"The washing line" is the first painting of 2025 and the first painting made in Ystradgynlais, the village in Wales where I live now.


Oil painting by Valentina Teghillo featuring a washing line in a back garden with the Brecon Beacons National Park in background.

I painted it en plein air from my garden. I have always been fascinating by clothes lines and this is the first chance I had to capture it with my paint.

This painting has revealed me new aspects of oils and I like the fact that on the background there is the Brecon Beacons National Park.


This was my painting setting and view.
