Colour among snow-covered buildings

The City’s Poor Quarter in Snowdrifts sets small figures along a curving street beneath a varied group of façades. Snow separates the roofs and near ground into pale areas. Warm and green walls keep the inhabited setting distinct beneath the restrained winter sky.

A planted enclosure around the pool

My Garden in Rome gathers trees, flower beds and a small circular water feature before a warm building. Repeated leaves and stems fill the near space. The clearly defined plants give the garden a patterned structure without concealing its paths and separate planted areas.

Figures beneath the yellow canopy

Autumn Promenade places walkers and a dog among thick trees and brilliantly coloured leaves. Blue and warm clothing separates the people within the repeated foliage. The broad gathering turns the path into a shared public space rather than a solitary landscape route.
