Well maybe not the best example of scanning (the sky has reproduced a little uneven) which I have ever done, but it is of the town center in Vietese in the south eastern corner of Italy, which we visited a few years ago. The heal of Italy, as it is oftern refered to, is a much neglected area of Italy from the visitors point of view. Financialy and economicaly it is among the poorer areas of the ecountry; in spite of this it was one of the more welcoming places which we hve visited in that country. In our travels often find that by getting into the more rural and less afluent financial areas we find a much warmer welcome. Thats quite a thought and says a great deal about our society and way of life.

The painting method used was ever so simple. A few very loose washes, followed when it was dry (in that heat only a few moments) with a  very simple and basic drawing, using a pen. The whole painting took about 20 minuets.

I love England and in particular, Surrey, but I do miss the lovely warm sun.
