Portofino is finally complete. This was a commission for a lady who saw another one similar to it and asked me to do one for her. It took me over 18 months to get it done because i kept getting sidetracked doing other things. She was so very patient and gracious. I would have fired myself a long time ago.
But glad she waited as i am most pleased with the outcome and cannot wait to show it to her. This is watercolor on Arches 300 lb. CP paper. 17" X 44".
Wonderful piece - and well worth the wait! xx

ReplyDeleteWow Ross, just blows me away how you do this. So whimsical and beautiful. I'll bet it's magnificent in person, because of the SIZE of it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gena. They sort of evolve in the drawing process and take on a life of their own. Now, if only i would draw more. So glad to have you drop by.
