Roma, Porta Pinciana




On Marriott Flora Hotel's roof garden a few days ago, for an illustration job. These are sketches we wont use. Backwards is Villa Borghese park.




See San Pietro in the skyline, and the ancient porta Pinciana just below. Big seagulls were waching at me all the time. They might come from the river Tevere.

I agree with Gabi, you make me miss Rome...I'm nostalgic for those trees...
The sensitivity of your color is beautiful.
