Below are a few sketches from May. Always such a wonderful month to paint outside. The first is just a view I saw walking to the studio one day, the bright blue shadow in the muddy water struck me. The next two are from a series I’ve been doing in the Corsini Gardens here in Florence (I did a similar series in October a couple of years back, it can be fun revisiting the same scene in a completely different season). The last is from our rained-out trip to the beach this weekend.
I’m working on a couple of longer technical posts which I hope to get up soon.

Love your paintings, especially the ones did in winter .
Hi Marc, I found your blog the other day from Lines and Colors. Great work! Lots of good info and thoughts here.
I’ll try and check back regularly to see what you are up to.
Thanks for that link to my work by the way.
Hi Marc
It is so fantastic to see this painting of the Arno river (isn’t it?), seen from my favorite holiday spot. I stayed at the residence vespucci and made some drawings there. If you’d like to see them; http://digi-sketch.blogspot.com/2008/08/plein-air-italy.html
Awesome plein air paintings. Very inspiring!!!!
