Monopoli harbour in Puglia painted in loose watercolour by John Crosland

Southern Italy in watercolour

Watercolours of
Puglia.

Puglia is a collection of contrasts: white hill towns and cobalt skies, working harbours and quiet piazzas, trulli among wildflowers and weathered stone beside the Adriatic. These paintings follow the region place by place rather than as a checklist.
