I have often painted in Napoli, Italy, but I haven't been back there for twelve years. I had a chance this May to go there for a week to stay with old friends and passed some of my time drawing and painting watercolours in my sketchbook. I am now working some of the ideas up in my studio with my oil paints. The weather was pretty terrible, but the strength of the sun was welcome while it was there and Vesuvius looked magnificent with it's ever changing clouds. Very curiously, I was sitting in the sun and looking out at the dark weather around the volcano; Capri was also in the sun!

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!
