The year in paintings
The current state of my studio wall.
I had intended on focusing more on my teaching this year. All things considered however, I still managed to get a lot done.
I’m quite pleased with my Florentine paintings this year. For years I haven’t painted seriously in the city as I felt somewhat bored of the views I see everyday. Then I got a commission to paint Piazza Tasso, which is not considered the most beautiful piazza in Florence, but it has a special meaning to me so I was very happy to be asked to capture it on canvas. Here is an image:
Piazza Tasso in Feburary. Oil on linen, 2008
The painting was quite successful (I felt, and the clients were happy). An antiquarian saw this in a small show I had and asked me to do a series of ‘unusual’ Florentine scenes for a show this October. The work is at the photographers at the moment, but I’ll try to post more when the images come back. The gallery website would not appear to be up and running at the moment…

Hey Marc,
I love this blog, and I would love to link it to my website if possible. The paintings look great. Let’s link this to my website.
I’ll write later via private email,
