S.Tuscany no.1
(Italy Series)

We went to Tuscany on our honeymoon. It was a place that I always felt "calling" to me. This was the view we would wake up to. The colour and the curves of those hills were breathtaking.

South Tuscany Diptych
(Italy Series)
40"x20" (two 20"x20" paintings), acrylic on wood panel. 2016
During our Tuscany trip I must have taken hundreads of pictures of the landscape. Every view was a different set of shapes, patterns and colour. And artist's dream.
The Val d'Orcia is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and I'm greatful for it to be protected for the world to admire.

S.Tuscany no.3: View of Radicofani
(Italy Series)
24"x18", acrylic on wood panel. 2016
This was the view from the tower in Radicofani. A maze of medieval buildings with that incredible scenery. The one lone building was an Inn and a popular one in it's day. This use to be a popular route to Rome and people would stop at the Inn for a rest. he described it as "a ghostly, goblin in' . I'd say that's quite correct Charles. One night after walking back from dinner we stopped to take pictures – it glowed in the night and was beautiful. Our photoshoot was rudely interrupted by a loud fog hornish, terrifying sounds. "Let's go! Let's go! Let's go", I said to my husband.
( I found this bit o' info from the book "The Most Beautiful Villiages in Tuscany")
