rather well. Some earlier photos had given it a rather turgid overall light, more night club neon than the warm overall glow that the painting has. What I wanted from this painting is a sense of space receding back even though this space was shallow, being a steep hill. I think that has come through. I also wanted a decorative, slightly artificial quality to the painting, a bit early Italian. I think that is successful as well. Tempted to do some more of these, the town near us has many examples of this type of building. The painting is finished.
