The first time I went to Rome I arrived via train with my friends and fellow students from the College of Architecture @archdesignvt . I remember an overwhelming sense of black and grey. Vespas, cats everywhere, soot on the buildings. I wasn’t very impressed with Rome. Perhaps it was raining too, late fall. My second visit was full of light. The sunny perfect weather of May, the buildings were cleaned and glistening. The stray cats had a homeless shelter where they could hang out. The sunshine of May inspires this painting. . . . #roma #rome #romeit #romemap #watercolor #watercolormap #urbanplan #citymap #myhandsmaking #byhand #doitfortheprocess #carveouttimeforart #sunshine #may #italy #italian
