Their studio, ArtImmagine, is on the Via del Borgo. Both speak English, and will know many other local women artists.

Great use of colour and a real feel for that 'gloomy' light created by the sodium lamps in the town. Bravo ! :-) Lovely paintings Richard.

Some of my favorite Barga moments were wandering around late at night -- especially with my daughter -- and actually stopping to look in all directions. These paintings are, of course, very evocative of those walks. Great stuff.

Do you mix the colours by memory or by eye. If by eye, are they the same colours in the daylight. ps: Nice, whichever way... As it’s dark when you are painting and hence difficult to see.

They are great!!!! They are really wonderful and I can't wait to see them in a gallery! We are going to go through to see if we can name the places. Imagine our surprise then when we got to Barga by night #6 and discovered our little rental Smart car that we had in Barga over the last couple of weeks, there is of course no mistaking the rental adds along the side! So number 6 has to be looking up Via della Speranza, oops we only parked there once, I promise! Great stuff!!! Jess Wow!! They are great!!!!
