Italy 2013 Galleria Agnelli at Montisi. I tried to capture the most beautiful mini-nursery along the main street of Montisi and I think I'll have to give it another go!

Villa Maddalena, Montisi, Italy. I sketched this sitting out in front of this fabulous villa where we stayed for a week for an art workshop given by Barbara Roth. It is a fabulous villa with about 9 bedrooms, grand living area, huge kitchen and a wonderful garden with a view and a pool. I was so inspired by the doors of Montisi that you'll be seeing a lot of them
