Columns of San Lorenzo
Another watercolor & ink from the same day in November. I moved to another bench in the piazza, and I believe that these are called the Columns of San Lorenzo. Just throughThe Porta Ticinese Medievale city gate, this great piazza is full of people on sunny days and nice summer or fall evenings. There are a number of cafes and a few bars near where many people take their drink to the open public space in front of the Basilica. You can read more about this area on the Tourism Milan website. While I painted this watercolor, I was surrounded by a family of Italian tourists rapidly asking questions in Italian with a video camera aimed at my face and painting! Then a wobbling drunk guy asked to borrow 5 cents, and at least two people tried to sell me roses. I never know what is going to happen when I am working in public.
