Cyprus

In Cyprus the landscape in springtime, before the sun has bleached it, is vibrant with colour. Everywhere there were crops, vines, olive orchards and species of plants I had never seen anywhere else. Here, especially on the slopes of the Troodos, the ground is harder to cultivate than in Provence or Tuscany, so the hillsides have been sculpted to create narrow terraces on which to grow vines or olive trees. Perhaps, more than anywhere, Cyprus enabled me to use vast swashes of colour against which the foreground plants created tremendous spacial depth.
