Painted from a photo I took in Rome, this is one of those love/hate challenges in that there is SO much information, that initially you want to simplify, but get caught up in all the delicious little details. I really enjoyed fiddling with this, in spite of the fact that I had an entirely different vision at the start of the piece. I just felt it needed details to end up with something that I would be happy with. It definitely was a lot of work, with a couple of lessons learned.
