Some of the sculptures from the Parliament Building in Vienna. Tired by this time, losing light. This is unfinished; just ran out of gas that day..Really wanted to do more of these (include more environments). I was delighted by the contrast of the dark bronze sculpture in front of the white marbled one. The obvious challenge here was to simplify the complicated shapes before me. I wanted to just dab to indicate the movement of the forms, not really describing them as they were, but in more calligraphic description~however it's going to take more practice to achieve that confidence of a more casual brushstroke. Will take many more paintings...
