Here is my latest painting featuring The Midland Hotel and St.Peters Square. Yet again, another twilight image. The photo hasn't really picked out some of the more subtle tones in this piece. But even so, I think it captures the atmosphere of a summers evening in St.Peter's Square and looking into the softly setting sun.... Continue Reading →
