Last year I went to a workshop in Florence. I was wandering the streets in the late afternoon and came across a religious procession. The men and women were dressed in the national costume of the 17 century and looked amazing. I saw these two ladies and they invited me to photograph them. I hope I have caught them looking happy and beautiful as it was an honour to paint them. This painting is for sale – please contact me if you are interested. Oil on board – 24x30cms
