Designing the Day Away

The piece I’m working on right now takes quite a lot of planning.  Some work requires more planning and time than other pieces.

It reminded me of this piece, a church from Varenna, Italy. I had a dream of it before my first trip to Europe and sketched it in a journal. Imagine my shock when I saw the church in real life.  I literally had to go back to the journal to make sure I wasn’t losing my mind. In real life it is set in the middle of a parking lot, backed against a steep hill. The hardest part of this piece was designing the a better setting. What a beautiful building.
