Daily Sketch No.145 The Trees of Piazza Napoleone, Lucca, Tuscany

Today, a trip down to Lucca to stock up on art supplies and a wander around, seeking shade from the hot sun. These trees in Piazza Napoleone always amaze, whatever time of year. Sculptural in winter and dramatically pruned early Spring, you would never imagine that they would develop such huge amounts of foliage in summer which supply welcome shade especially for these two cyclists!
