Everyone loves a good train set

Santa playing with his trainset - bit early for Christmas talk but seeing as I just painted this I thought I'd post it up.

Florence trip

I recently went on a trip to the beautiful city of Firenze. This is an oil sketch done in Via Beccheria in the ancient town of Lucca which we went to on a day trip. Got to give respect to those artists who paint scenes day in day out for the tourists - it's high pressure painting under people's watchful gaze.

The painting is for sale here https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/475316943/the-girl-in-the-blue-dress
