Aquaduct park second day
Shepherds, sheep, poppies, pines, and Roman ruins for a second day. Sheep and shepherds didn't make the cut but for the rest this is what we got.

Perfect morning at parco di aquaducti
I was working on a tight, block by block rendering of the aquaduct in the park that is at the farther end of Rome when I got up to stretch and smoke a cigar, from the edges of the meadow a couple of shepherds with their dog walked a flock of sheep into the scene. I quickly threw together a composition and roughed it in an an hour. not the best painting but far and away the best scene. this is the Rome of my dreams. a beautiful continuation of the world of Augustus.
