For some reason this watercolor took a painfully long time to paint. Late last night I finished it and was just relieved to be done. I'll probably do some touch ups as I look at it on my easel the next few days. I was inspired by the loose watercolor work of one of my favorite artists,
Childe Hassam - he did many cityscapes with flag paintings and there so loose and watery.
I could only find this one example on line - it's an oil, but it gives you an idea. I love his painting of flowers and he too had an eye for that red geranium. Another favorite. That could have been me sitting at the window you know.

This is stunning. Wow. I love it. Thanks for the intro to Childe Hassam. Wanna come to Italy with me in November and hire a watercolor tutor?
BTW, your email keeps popping back to me.
