I recently found a black and white photo my father had taken when he was in the army at the end of World War II. It was a street scene in Bari, Italy. I was intrigued by it. I wanted to paint it, but it wasn’t very clear and I had no idea what the colors were. I matched their values and gave it my best guess. It was done with pure emotion–I just squinted my eyes and let the brush paint away.
