Description:

Florentine skyline during late autumn showing the Fiume Arno flowing through its many bridges and past the historic Palazzo Vecchio which has graced this beautiful city since 1299 and from where earlier, parliamentary decisions were taken. Painted from Piazza Michaelangelo for the people of Florence , as an invited guest during their art biennial of December 2005. An early fog which lifted before noon was replaced by fast moving clouds which came in from the west. The light was bright and crisp with ample cobalt in the sky as well as reflected light. Terracotta roofs and brightly lit cadmiums and yellows along the riverbank during the afternoon. The tower on right of the Palazzo Vecchio proudly displayed the Fiorentine flag which echoes of the power and influence that this city held during its time.
Florence is a beautiful city during any time of the year, but autumn brings out strong cadmiums in the surrounding hills and accentuated deep reds of the many terracotta rooftops. Cold air in the lower atmosphere provided for cobalt blue which I was able to goad towards late afternoon when reds started to appear in the sky. At this point in the canvas, I am at liberty to choose to which extend I will allow these reds to influence the composition, but as in this scene, a touch of red was enough to compliment the foreground of buildings. The spot which I have chosen to paint from on this day was very popular with photographers and also a wedding as well as tourists taking group photographs, which meant that I had to move aside whenever someone else needed to borrow this near perfect view of city. The time that was spent in Florence painting, was exhilarating and extremely inspiring given the many great painters who hailed from here. I was constantly mindful of the difficulties that Caravaggio faced during his time alive here and the manner with which he was removed from public life.
