Invitation to Tuscany
Since 1983, I've been painting Tuscan villas for Invitation to Tuscany, my family's villa rental company. What began as illustrations for our printed brochure (discontinued in 2014) has become an ongoing visual chronicle of the landscape I've known since 1974, when my family first moved to Tuscany. These watercolours aren't just property portraits - they're a 40-year conversation with the hills, stone farmhouses, and cypress-lined roads that shaped my eye as an artist. You'll find these paintings alongside my other favourite subjects: the lavender fields and villages of Provence where my family loves to visit, London where I now live, and occasional forays to Southern Italy, Ile de Ré, and the surprising churches of Hertfordshire.
Capturing moments in paint, from Tuscany to today
I usually paint on location, working quickly to capture buildings and landscapes in a single sitting—much like the travelling artists of the Grand Tour. Growing up on a Tuscan farm and attending art school in Florence shaped how I see the world, while my architecture degree from Cambridge and time as a Rome Scholar at The British School at Rome deepened my understanding of the spaces I paint. This combination of artistic training and architectural knowledge means each painting isn't just a pretty view - it's an informed response to place, history, and atmosphere. I absorb the moment: the quality of light, the character of stone, the feeling of being there. Sometimes I add notes or memories directly onto the canvas. My work has been exhibited in London, Rome, Naples and Florence, and is held in private collections across Europe, Australia and the US.
Prints are made with archival inks on one of two papers - either 350g Hahnemuhle German Etching paper, or 290g. Hahnemuhle Hemp, a beautifully heavy paper with rich colours. Made with 60% hemp fiber, this is an eco-friendly paper. Hemp is a highly sustainable resource, historically used for papermaking. Hahnemuhle use spring water for milling, and the production of hemp paper does not require bleaching or chloride, making the process less impactful. Postage and packing will be calculated on checkout.

Framing and mounts
An A4 print is best framed in an A3 frame - these images work best with a decent amount of white space surrounding them.
