Toscany, Italy


In the heat of an summer afternoon in Toscany I sat on the middle of the street to make this watercolour. It was painted in the shortest possible time as I could not stand it any longer. Maybe that was just right as I find often that giving myself less time often makes the painitng better.

Village of Cantalupe 2007


This village of singing wolves lies in the Sabina and probably owes his name to the earlier forlorn landscape with wolves calling at night. The sketch is made from the balcony of 'our' villa, I was tempted by the fields, the olive trees, the mountains with this place in the middle of all and of course by the lazy warm afternoon of that summer.
