The reference image is from the Vinciana book "Landscapes".

This is the first layer, 40x50cm oil on stretched canvas.

Magnificent ... I just love it. A good painterly painting. Mind you - the first layer is also a complete painting.

The Italian sense of style ... so enjoyable.

Very nicely done Marco, love the sky and reflections especially!

Thanks jmax and Kathy!

I'm posting some close-ups, the darker tones have lost details in the previous photo...
