The Rua Augusto is a very famous pedestrian only street in Lisbon, that is not only notable for it's beautiful 18th century architecture and sculpture, but it's everyday bustling activity. A visitor to this wonderful and historic city would be remiss if they didn't visit this Portuguese treasure. Definitely a highlight of our trip there six years ago, I am very pleased to have completed this painting as a permanent reminder of that fabulous moment in time.
What a beautiful painting of a beautiful spot! Wow! You have such a gift for simplifying detail to just the right amount. Gorgeous glowing shadows, and amazing atmospheric and linear perspective. Wow again!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful painting and I'll bet the size makes a tremendous impact. Must be GREAT in person!
