Illustrazione per una raccolta di poesie di Franca Bellucci

Per una raccolta di poesie di Franca Bellucci. Il tema dei due cipressi a guardia del colle (Montalbano  ritorna :-). Con l'aggiunta dell'aquilone suggerito da Franca. (Originale in china circa 20x10)

Here is an illustration for a collection of poems by Franca Bellucci, my mother. The kite was suggested by her, while the hill is the familiar Montalbano ;). Some critique watching the picture now (couple of year later)... maybe I would work differently the clouds, and also the border of the Montalbano: it's to thick and defined. And also the hatching of the hill is too regular..

Illustrazione per una raccolta di poesie di Laura Visconti

Chissà se sarà pubblicato.. originale china su carta circo 18x20 cm.

This was done on commission, to illustrate a poem book by Laura Visconti. Unfortunately this was not selected... but anyway, here's the work, ink pen. The worst thing I notice is the leg of the girl, I remember I struggled a bit with it. And also the pattern of the sea waves.. It is ok in general, but I should have avoided the tangent of the last wave..
