Piazza dei Miracoli

0.0 x 0.0

Next to the Piazza dei Miracoli where the Leaning Tower is, was a narrow alley with a small café in it. I sat there outside and did some sketches of the buildings on the opposite side of the alley. During the many years that I´ve been painting I stopped doing sketches when being in a place for the first time. I have half a book full of sketches from Pisa which I use as submittals for my paintings. One of the paintings has developed from another painting which I did in the year 2007. I used the colors which were originally flowers and changed them to building fronts. The result was a colorful alley which had way too much building fronts in there. oil on canvas, 120 x 160 cm,
