Historic Sant'Eustorgio Basilica

The owner of our hotel told us to look for this neighborhood basilica built in the early part of the fourth century. The day was overcast. Rain was expected but it never came, so I set up my traveling easel on the street, painting as passersby stopped to talk. People who pass a local landmark every day often stop to kibitz with artists as they look at the scene with new eyes. These conversations are some of the best parts of the painting experience.
