Boat Tour, Lungotevere
Boat Tour, Lungotevere, 8×10″, oil on panelFor some reason I keep going to the river to paint. It seems to be a place for peace and quiet along with endless paintable themes.This little treasure of a spot is where (in the summer I presume) you can take a boat tour of Rome’s Tiber River. It is just under a foot bridge going to the famous round castle on the way to Saint Peter’s Church, and I consider myself lucky to have found a quiet spot in such a busy part of town. This is a place where I would like to paint several more times and would consider this my first quick study. When the weather really gets warm I think I’ll jump on this boat tour one day and take the opportunity to see Rome from this point of view. Until then I’ll keep haunting it from these sidelines.To buy or view this painting or others from the When in Rome project, click here

This is the reason why I love going to boat tours like oban wildlife trips because of the scenery and the satisfaction I feel once I see the beauty of nature.

While Rome and the Tiber river may not be the most ideal setting for relaxing, it certainly does give a whole new perspective on the city away from the crowds and traffic. In my mind it’s a perfect painting spot in the heart of Rome. Thanks for your lovely comments.
