I really love to be in my studio in the winter, painting still-life with my stove lit and music or radio to accompany me. I have fun setting up the subject with favourite things; for example the brushes are called "Giotto" brushes in Italy and haven't changed in style since those far off days of Giotto. They are used for decorating walls since you can make perfect straight lines with them. The bottles are part of my collection and are old with lovely reflective qualities and have slightly wonky shapes. I also love these "Potimaron" (little red pumpkins) which liven up the French markets in October. I added my painting "The Red Door" ( a local French landscape) to give an extra dimension to my still-life.

France
I live in SW France in the little known " département" of the Aveyron which is part of the larger Occitanie region; this new name encompasses the two regions of Languedoc-Roussillon and Midi-Pyrenées. I moved here from Tuscany, where I have lived for many years, just four years ago I am principally a landscape painter and I love to work "en plein air", when I can. With good reference from my painting experience outdoors, I also work my ideas up from my sketches, photographs and small oils onto larger canvases in the studio. I used to always paint large canvases in situ outside, but I eventually found it was very good to remove myself from the view after a while, painting in a looser way using my visual memory of the moment. Apart from anything else, the weather would often change completely in the middle of my painting and I would have to finish it in the studio anyway. Coming back to a painting in the calm of my studio, I feel I can get a better idea of the fleeting moment and treat the canvas as a painting and not a photographic image of what I had been looking at. I also love painting still-life which I mostly do in the winter and these paintings also range from small to large canvases. My recent exhibitions have been in London, but I am now looking at future possibilities in France for exhibiting my work, as well as trying Saatchi Art online. It's all a new experience for me!
