In the beautiful city of Verona, I came across this lovely scene. I think it epitomises the romantic city and its connection to Shakesspeare's Romeo and Juliet. The solid geometric shapes of the buildings, arches and wall recall a foundational classicism. The girl with the book is taking time out to read sitting on the wall with the bicycle ,a metaphor for being transported by reading, possibly into a into a romantic dream..

I was attracted to the wonderful combination of shapes and colours as light played across them in the latter afternoon light. Triangles, cones and rectangles in a measured balance are the ingredients of good architecture and I think this painting demonstrates the commit to this principle. Together with colour, neutralized with whites, greys and soft browns create a harmonious balance to the painting. Strong geometric shapes bring weight to the idea of the institution of the church as a fundamental foundation of the society. Doing this painting made me feel grounded for some reason.
