Sketch 17/30 - View from Robyn's balcony


This sketch brings back a wonderful memory - we had just met Robyn for breakfast at the Mercato Sant'Ambrogio and we walked back to her apartment near the Duomo. The apartment was a single room with a book shelf dividing the kitchen and bedroom with a small balcony, from which I could look down at the roofs and terraces of the neighbourhood houses. A lovely but typical view of Florence. It was when I looked up that I realised how close I was to Brunelleschi's Duomo - it seemed close enough to touch. To see the details up close; the massive tiled dome in shadow and light, the white marble of the campanile speckled with the little silhouettes of doves. It felt close to heaven.

  1. Taping and painting, also known as drywall taping, is a crucial step in achieving a smooth and flawless wall finish. This process involves applying tape to drywall seams and covering them with joint compound to create an even surface before painting. Professional taping and painting ensure that walls are prepared meticulously, resulting in a polished and professional look for any space.
