Down a back street in a run-down part of the city you can find some beautiful buildings but they are totally unloved.
This boarded up 'palazzo' dominates a little square, but it's not an area where you would like to linger. Who knows who once lived here and how the square once looked. It has a lovely little fountain in the middle and I'm told that the square is very lively in the evenings but I'm not sure I want to find out nor will I be walking the backstreets at night!

Lovely painting, you've made a dodgy area look really interesting, and such intriguing textures
What atmosphere in this painting. Fabulous. It makes me want to go for a walk and find this street. Beautifully painted.
Ciao,
hai reso benissimo gli aspetti positivi e negativi del palazzo, simili a tanti altri in Sicilia e in Italia dove l'attenzione per l'enorme patrimonio artistico spesso รจ latitante!
Ciao, ciao, auguri per il nuovo anno, Floriana
You found beauty in a unloved place, very lovely!!!
I love urban decay - this is a lovely painting of it.
Love, love, love! Now this is why they say artists see what others don't. This is a great piece!
This is another wonderful painting. Did you use your Schminke paints?
I find crumbly walls and old wood
strangely attractive!
Thanks for the comments :)
Yes Barbara I used my new paints, but I don't think I'm using them to their full potential yet!
This is SO nicely done! I love the textures and I love the composition. It is a mystery to me how you can create that softness and blendedness while still defining the lines and shapes. That is true artistry, my friend!
Beautifully mysterious. The things those windows have seen!
Wow Cathy. Gorgeous textures, light, and subject. My favourite of yours so far I think. Thanks for showing us.
Also in Firenze there are places that don't look so different from this one! Your painting shows very well the feeling of decay inspired buy these buildings!
