After Salvator Rosa

Charcoal Pencil

6.5"x4.5"

This little drawing is a copy of a painting by Salvator Rosa (Italian, 1615-1673) that I saw at the Ringling Museum in Sarasota, Florida. We took our two boys to see this wonderful museum as it is one of my favorites in the country and well worth the visit.

The next day I went out to sketch the Florida landscape but found little near the condo that was of interest but I did write this little poem about my search.
