fora romana

Arches CP 300 gsm, 12" x 9".

our second full day, we rose early and walked to the roman forum where we wandered the ruins and marveled at the small size of the site and the actuality of places we had only seen imagined in cinema.

i made a brief charcoal sketch briskly filled in with color; the morning gray clouds had just parted after scattered showers, creating a mystical sense of passing time among the broken stones and walls of ancient red brick.
