Jane Thompson presents her beloved Tuscany series, inspired by her residency at Italy's La Macina di San Cresci. These paintings capture the essence of her early morning walks along village roads and her sensory experiences in a new land. She felt awakened by the local scents, tastes, people, tranquil dawns, and distant church bells. These elements highlight the beauty of travel and escape.

Jane works primarily with acrylics, wax pastels, oil sticks, and graphite. She prefers these fast-drying materials as they allow her to capture the spontaneous energy and freedom of the moment. Her paintings express the feelings of a place and experience, often blending elements she's seen and heard into a representation of her emotional experience. This approach weaves parts of her story into the ongoing narrative of time and change.
