Daily Sketch No.166 San Romano, Garfagnana, Tuscany

Up in the lovely village of San Romano this morning dropping off some framed sketches for a customer. This sketch looking towards the village shows the large amount of trees that surround this area although the valley is more open with pasture land than around Barga.

Daily Sketch No.165 Panda Police Car, Barga Vecchia, Tuscany

The local municipal police in Barga still drive around in the original Fiat Panda, perfect for getting around narrow alleys but not great if in hot pursuit of a stolen car like a Ferrari. Although I have never heard of any stolen cars in Barga, only frozen cakes from the Gelateria a few years ago!

Daily Sketch No.164 Evening, Barga Vecchia, Tuscany

This is a classic view of Barga Vecchia, the soft evening sun shining on the warm coloured buildings with the duomo as the focal point in the sketch.
