As with all my small paintings, I am approaching subjects that have always tantalized me but that I put off painting for a variety of reasons. This scene was in Florence, Italy on a trip with my great travel companion Pat. She too is passionate about seeing all of the world and is responsible for finding and taking me to the many places I have seen and photographed. We were on our way to Ponte Vecchio when the sun was setting leaving a warm red orange glow to the city and just a hint of light shining through the archway. It stopped us in our tracks and begged to be photographed and then painted.
