Must admit, it was too hot for us to climb. Lovely place and you've brought back some lovely memories

Just remembered the tower I took the photo from is the Torre delle Ore, Lucca’s tallest tower. It was over 30ºc and a lot of steps. With no travel on the horizon I'm so glad I took lots of pics on my travels.

I love it, the out of focus distance really makes the painting.

The Guinigi Tower, Lucca in Tuscany. Painted on a full sheet of Millford paper with Schmincke watercolours. I painted the tower plein air at least 4 times, but I took a photo from the bell tower with distant hills in the background and this is the best angle.
