'Amore d'estate, Firenze'

'Amore d'estate, Firenze'

A3 (12x16 inches)

Coloured Pencils and Watercolour wash sky on illustration board

This was the commission that I mentioned on my blog about a month ago that kept me quite busy for almost an entire week. I really haven't done a lot of artwork containing architecture before and so this was a pleasant, but challenging change.

Wishing everyone a very happy and peaceful Easter holiday!!! :)

  8. Beautiful work Karen! I agree....Architecture is always difficult, because it must be so precise. But that is why I love it!

  9. Karen the SuperArtist! I look at this and I'm almost there. Not kissing of course, but overlooking those terracotta roofs. I'm IN your painting.

    Jaw droppingly, amazingly fabulous!
