ROME

WHEN IN ROME.......


Rome is a definite place we will be visiting in the (probably distant) future. I look forward to the day when we transform from California residents, to tourists in Rome.

I have two pictures posted to this blog. The one to the upper left is the beginning stages of my "Rome" project. I painted a frame around the canvas first, then added the interior, which happens to be the Pantheon. Next, I will be including a small cafe and lots of outdoor tables/umbrellas, and busy activity. I wish to create a warm glow, surrounding the excited activity of the busyness of the Pantheon. What was intriguing about painting this, is I feel like I am a part of this place. I imagine that one would hear the murmur of conversation, including classic Italian laughter that warms the soul. It makes me smile just thinking about it. To drink coffee at that very cafe.........which is probably on the pricey side....but who cares! I will be in ROME!!! .....someday.....
