Prints of Tuscany

This is where I started sketching, and where I started exploring. The light, the architcture, the soft lime plaster coloured with the local red earth of Siena still fill me with joy. One of my first drawings, in 1982, was of the oxen and cart that my sister and i would sometimes catch a lift on to get to school, 2kms away. Then the first drawings of the old farmhouses for rent that my mother start to use in her brochure, and on to careful measured drawings for architectural conservation projects that eventually led me to study Architecture at Cambridge.
