painting 71: painting in Rome (Roman Forum)



This was one of those moments that I will remember for the rest of my life.  This was a last minute spontaneous decision to paint again after a museum visit. Fortunately I had my painting supplies with me and I happen to be walking next to Daniel Sprick when he decided that he wanted to paint the Roman Forum during the sunset.  It wasn't part of the class, we were just artists wanting to paint the beautiful scene.  While this painting was a super quick study, I felt an openness in my heart.  I felt like a real artist, something that I've had a hard time convincing myself because of my inner ego.  It didn't matter if the painting wasn't successful, I was just happy being in the moment.
