Painting the stunning, panoramic view towards Monta Rosa from Mosso in Italy. It looks a lot colder that it actually was. It was so quiet too. This is my second trip to this region of Piedmont in Northern Italy and the winter conditions have provided a much different experience and challenge from the ones encountered last spring. I am here for a few weeks to further explore the region and revisit some of the places that inspired me last time.

My thanks to Manuel Capella for sending me the photo.

 

 

Painting in London

Painting on the banks of the Thames  in London, is such a thrilling experience. On those bright, winter mornings the light across the river to St Paul's is breathtaking.  Passers by, who stopped to chat, included many tourists, joggers, vloggers, artists, an actor and a playwright.  All made it a great experience.
