Love these horses in the Piazza della Signoria, Florence, Italy. My friend and watercolour artist, Maggie Chiara Cowling first painted them about eleven years ago calling the piece “Gossiping”.

A Sunny Day in Salzburg

Salzburg really is the most beautiful town. Gloriously green and tranquil, surrounded by the beautiful Alps and just stunning in either bright sunshine or grey mist.
