This time in France I became very fascinated by the “campanilles”, the wrought iron belltowers (not always housing bells, however) on the tops of churches and other buildings. These didn’t attract my attention in previous trips...perhaps I’ve become more observant since I began the artwork. I also loved the plane trees which were all without leaves in the winter. I had never noticed their multicoloured trunks before!
