Roma, Italia I

When I paint a subject or a scene, I do it thinking it is a one-time shot.  Because the subject chooses me, not the other way around.  How am I supposed to know when or if it chooses me again?  That's why I take it seriously when an inspiration hits me.

After giving it all I got, I feel I'm done with it and ready to move on to another subject.  But some scenes are just addictive.  I keep going back to them, and every time they want me to paint something about them.  Via Condotti, a street leading up to the Piazza di Spagna and the Spanish Steps in Rome, Italy is definitely one of those subjects for me.

First one (left) is a painting that I made back in 2005.  It holds a special place in my heart because it is one of my first paintings that got juried in and received an award in a national-level exhibition (Georgia Watercolor Society National Exhibition 2006).
