leaning tower of Pisa

I always knew that eventually i would paint the leaning tower of Pisa !!!!!!! . I have painted the Eiffel tower many many times so in a sense it was Italy's turn . Such a marvelous structure to behold and its certainly is Italy's most defining  Icon architecturally . So yes i have painted it finally , and i can tell you its by far the most complicated tower i have ever painted . So much detail . I am very sure its new owner who is Italian will love it . !!!!!!! I am truly fascinated by this remarkable culture and cant wait one day to do an entire exhibition on this country . I think sadly that will be a few years down the track . One day Tuscany will call  its always been a given that i will paint in that location for a few months .  So till then there will be only the occasional painting inspired by the breathtakingly beautiful country that is Italy . x

    Starr,talking about,
    " and i can tell you its by far the most complicated tower i have ever painted . So much detail. "

    Did you catch Stephen Wiltshire when he was in Brisbane last December?
    If not take a look at this post I did on him in December on my blog called
    "Stephen Wiltshire draws Brisbane from Memory."

    and watch the You Tube of him drawing Brisbane over days just from memory alone.
    It's mind boggling stuff indeed.
