Postcard from Castiglion Fiorentino





Thank you so much Robyn for this lovely card. The images on the card increase my wish to travel to Italy again. Yes, in fact, it would be terrific if we met one day and sketched together. The quince – including the leaf – you've painted looks perfect in color and shape. I can almost feel the velvet surface. I think your report of your afternoon sketch group and the other information you have written can be read easily here on the blog. Thanks again! Albrecht

Lovely quince Robyn - I've been getting into quinces of late and you've caught that very particular colour very nicely!

So nice to live somewhere which has a bell tower....

We have a few bell towers to spare, Katherine if you're interested. Goodness know we're going to have to start selling something!
Thanks, Albrecht and I like the touch of the roof covering your address.

You are all very kind. You may recall how blocked I was coming up with this card.

This glimpse of the bell tower through the gates is very enticing, and I love the quince - what a lovely shape to draw.

A lovely intimate view through a gate to peep through and catch a glimpse of such an interesting building. Lovely yellows in the quince too.
