Back to the Piazza Navona right around the solstice

There was heavy rain this afternoon in Civita, so I pulled out my sketchbook and painted this sketch that I had drawn late in the day on my one full day in Rome.  I had been to the Pantheon before (remember the wonky jet lag perspective?), and being a true glutton for punishment, I headed to the Piazza Navona to do one last Rome sketch.  Yes, I was still groggy with jet lag and it was probably 8pm, but I was determined to make the most of my one day in this beautiful city.

Amazing late evening light near the soltice in the Piazza Navona...it was too late in the day to paint there, so this was
painted today in Civita while I was inside during a rainstorm!
