Hi, I am an Italian artist (strong word) based in the Vosges (a small mountain chain in France). I mostly paint and draw the landscape that's around me. Liberal, progressive, vegan 🏳️🌈

Once again the first layer is done. Pretty much a mess at this stage, but I'm hopeful….

So, this is an ancient tradition (2007). I took this photo of my mum—don't worry, she's still alive— under the hairdryer, serving up the best Italian fashion has to offer. This has been my December profile pic on my Meta accounts. Since I'm no longer on Meta, here it is, just for you!

This is Youkie a friend’s dog. We've been looking after her for the last few days. I drew this sketch a few years back. Let's just say that she's fond of food. She's also one in a million…not necessarily in a good way 😉, but you got to love her.

Very quick sketch: khakis and kiwi fruit. Well done you if you guessed that was a kiwi! Oil pastels and watercolours

This is the town's underground water reservoir, right in the middle of the forest behind our house. On the L last week after the first snowfall. I liked how the grass was still peaking out. In the middle is my attempt to sketch it, on the R as it was yesterday during a heavier fall

This is the first layer of paint for the new landscape I'm working on. It's a summer view of the Valtin valley just a few Ks from where I live. Let's wait for it to dry…

Today's offering is a bowl of fruit. I love this bowl that was left here, like everything else, from the previous owners. A masterpiece it ain't, but here it is anyway #fruit #sketch #watercolour

In the end I decided to add branches and leaves to the foreground. Not sure if it was the right decision…too late now! Also not oak trees but beech. My fault. #acrylics #art #landscape

This is the result of two separate events: a forest of high altitude oak trees, we came across last week during a long walk. And the sky that, two days ago, turned yellowish pink. I'm not sure it's finished: I think I need something in the foreground. But here it is anyway

On this day, 7 years ago we visited Neist Point on Skye ( Scotland). It was just amazing. This sketch that I have just done doesn't do it any justice. But here it is anyway.

I want to get into the habit of drawing/ sketching more regularly. And since I have hundreds of pictures of Nitro ( usually sleeping) I thought it would make the perfect subject. It's far from perfect, but an enjoyable exercise anyway.

I'm really loving working with the palette knife at the moment. This is one of my favorite local lakes: Le lac des truites

First page of my new sketchbook. We used to call this place Dark Wood because the trees had been planted in rows so close that virtually no light reached the ground apart from where a path used to run through it. Most of the trees have been cut down now, but that's Ok. Felt pens
