This award by the Royal Scottish Academy, enabled travel to Florence for about 10 weeks, as was for final year and post grad fine art students in Scotland. I absolutely loved this experience and it had an impact on my work which is still evident today. I found a way to use watercolour which did not reek of cliches that I had wanted to avoid. To see the Massacios and Giottos in the flesh was extremely humbling as well as very useful. http://www.robbiebushe.co.uk/Robbiebushe/florence_1990.html#0 c7744dd1-05fa-4a34-b075-f439729bf424 http://www.robbiebushe.co.uk/Robbiebushe/florence_1990_files/Media/afternoonplay/thumb.jpg http://www.robbiebushe.co.uk/Robbiebushe/florence_1990_files/Media/afternoonplay/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px;
