Florence in the morning sunshine Painting

The painting was painted in January 2019. Florence was born to me easily, at ease, quickly. I wrote it before Christmas, when the mood was joyful, upbeat, I was all inspired then. Honestly, when I just started this picture, I didn’t think of the end result then, and didn’t know completely what would come out in the end of the picture. I only knew that I needed to convey an airy joyful state when the world, the city, the people themselves wake up, a new day wakes up, the sun rises and life goes on ... But I didn’t know exactly how to do it, through what objects, through what colors and to convey this tone, to embody ... When I applied the very first layer in the picture, just coarse big strokes with a wide brush, spreading them across the canvas, I suddenly suddenly saw in these soulless traces of paint the appearing outlines of something incomprehensible for now, but asking express me this give them form, breathe life into them, history ... And I finally saw THIS! They were houses, streets, back streets, bridges, and ... a river! So was born Florence city.
