Sketches in The Dordogne and Tuscany
Hi Everybody
Thanks for following my posts, your comments are always most welcome.
We recently drove through France, visiting friends and eventually driving to Tuscany for few days.
In a few quiet moments I managed to paint some quick sketches of The Dordogne, Lot et Garonne and the area around San Gimignano in Tuscany.
We found a lovely Agriturismo to stay at, within sight of San Gimignano, call La Lucciolaia, which we would highly recommend if you are staying in that area.
I hope these will form the basis for more studio paintings later in the year, but in the meantime I hope you enjoy looking at them.
Tuscany is beautiful place for painting with blue skies,warm weather and lovely old towns and cities.
Enjoy your travels wherever you may be.

Evening at Dome from Vitrac
Recently a friend and very talented artist, Peter Robson, gave a workshop which included ideas for silhouette paintings. I have tried it here with the view of Dome in the Dordogne from our hotel. Thanks Peter!

What a unique blog! Your paintings are wonderful and it’s a very different take on travel. I especially love the painting of Monpazier, which is maybe my favorite town in the whole world. Looking forward to spending some more time here and looking at all the places you’ve been. Thanks for sharing, this is really great!
Thanks Paige
