Afternoon light in the souks, Marrakech. (at مدينة مركش)

The floor of the Bahia palace, Marrakech. (at Marrakech)

Inside this beautiful building in Rome’s Borghese Gardens, is a current exhibition of the sculpture of Bernini. But if the entrance price is a little steep, you can always peek in that bottom blue door and see ‘that hand on that thigh’ which is undoubtedly a breathtaking piece of marble sculpture. (at Galleria Borghese)

Faces of Naples.

Neapolitan still life. (at San Gregorio Armeno)

Lines of Arezzo, Tuscany. (at Piazza Grande Arezzo)

Iceland’s magical lava fields, a surreal, quiet and calm place to begin the new year. (at Blue Lagoon Iceland)

Beautiful Christmas Day walking weather amongst the pines. (at Tuscany)

One of those very, very quiet and cold days by the lake near the house. (at Chiusi)

Any trip to the marble workshop is filled with amazing things, most of which I have no idea what their use is, and everything is covered is thick layers of marble dust... (at Pò Bandino)

My most ambitious painting to date, and it seems to have taken forever to complete. But now it’s done and I want to stare at something else for a while! The scariest part is coming up as I have to ‘oil out’ the painting and there are so many different recipes out there for oiling out that it’s hard to know which to choose. I’ll let you know how it goes... 5’x5’ oil on canvas of the Chiostrino dei Voti in Santissima Annunziata in Florence, the small glass ceilinged atrium before you enter the church, with each pane of glass etched with the fleur de lys of Florence and the ‘S’ of the Servite order who founded it in 1250. When the light is as good as it was that day, it’s a wonderful space. . . . . #realisticart #realisticpainting #architecturalpainting #oilpainting #florence #tuscanpainting #chiostrodeivoti #ontothenextone

Crumbling, cramped, faded, tilting, damp and a little bit smelly this year. Wonderful Venice... (at Santa Maria Formosa)
