Tuscan landscapes
Why go to Italy to paint? For one thing, the light is different, the colours seem more vibrant and one feels inspired, in Tuscany especially. My time at the Florence Academy of Art took in aspects of the Tuscan landscape contrasted against urban cityscapes. Dodging curious tourists is always part of the fun, as is spending an hour or two in Zecchi's Art Shop, close by the Duomo.
