"Florence Sunset" - watercolours of Italy


"Florence Sunset"  12 x 9 inches  watercolour on rough paper. Purchase details on my Fine Art website here. The sunsets over the river Arno in Florence just dance with sparkle and colour. Looking West towards the famous old bridge PonteVecchio just leaves you in awe at the sublime beauty before you. It also made me wonder how many people had watched these over the years in this historic city.  The moment is so fleeting, everybody seems to stop and soak up as much of it as possible as if it is the last time that they will see it. Exchanging knowing looks of appreciation, each one part of that special sunset watchers club.

Have a great Friday!

" Oasis in the City" -watercolour painting in Florence , Italy.


‎"Oasis in the City" - watercolour on paper- 12 x 8 inches. Up on the hill overlooking Florence is a beautiful rose garden, so tranquil and peaceful amidst the bustle of the city. Paul Kenton and I spent quite a few hours painting from this picturesque spot. www.stevepp.co.uk
