Rome

And this is the second of the two. My mother wanted me to bid for her on these (and I did, mom, honest) but I did not want to spend too much of her money as she had already paid for a seat knowing she could not even attend. Well that, and the fact that my mom would bid on the ashtray I made in 2nd grade because she's proud of me. But I am glad that someone bought them who just purchased a new house and sincerely wanted them for the decor. Thank you, kind sir!

Pisa

No you are not losing the color from your eyesight. This is a black and white painting. Looks kind of like a sketch. Which it should. That was the look I was going for. What I wasn't going for was high school art contest. I think that may be what I got though.

Anyway, the idea was inspired by some lineart paintings that Pottery Barn has for sale. I wanted to do something architectural but simple for a charity auction this Saturday. They are 16x20s, acrylic on canvas.

This will be a series of two and will be sold together. The Pottery Barn inspirations are seen below. One thing I will say; I will not be misspelling Colosseum.
