Painting in Tuscany


The subjects in Tuscany are thousands  - the colors and lights varies not only following the seasons, but from an hour to another. This is a sketch of olive trees with poppies .

Honeysuckle


Just love when summer arrives with the smell of flowers and herbs - one favourite is honeysuckle - so one day I picked a few branches for a vase. The perfume was inebriating and I couldn't resist painting a study as well

More flower power


Having fun with watercolors, loose painting...

Cherries in a Basket with Hat


A beautiful composition prepared by a friend who brought everything from her own garden. This painting is from quite a few years ago, the last year that I was taking regular classes myself...and with this painting I partecipated at the yearly final exhibition. I'd really want to paint this again one day, it was so fun!

More Old Still Lifes



Shells are wonderful subjects. Pick a handful of sells - you have beautiful shapes and colors, matte and shiny surfaces, a lot of fun and a lot of challenge!


Paint the smaller shells next to fruit or maybe red chili peppers to add some color to your composition.
This painting is from a workshop several years ago...
