Tuscan Dawn

One of many interesting
narrow streets in
Tuscany, Italy which
always caught my eye,
with its typical old
lanterns and beautiful
flowers that cascade
from the windows.

    Hilda, I like very much this pastel, showing shadows and light. In my opinion cityscapes are very difficult. This the reason why I never paint them.

    Hi Hilda, came by to check out your blog. Your pastels are wonderful. I do not have the patience for that medium. I love the "Moonlight Fairy" you did a while ago.
    Thanks for stopping by my blog.

    This is a lovely piece, Hilda. I especially like the texture of the buildings that one can see when looking at the enlarged image. Is that La Carte paper?

  29. hmuxoJanuary 20, 2011 at 6:08 PM

    Thank you Sandy ! I use Canson Mi-Tientes paper most of the time working on the back of the paper which is smoother. I work with #431.. Steel Grey...
