The Latest: St. Peter’s Basilica in Gold

St. Peter's Basilica in Gold, Jessica Libor 2011, oil on canvas, 38"x57"

Above is my most recent commission work completed.  A while back I did a version of the same image in all blues and cobalts, but I like this one much better.  And best of all, the client does as well :)  One of my favorite parts is the lady walking through the patch of light falling from the rotunda.  She perfectly illustrates the feeling of awe I had when walking through the space.

    I love the feeling that the painting evokes: holiness, awe, peace, and mystery! Great job! Cathedrals are one of my favorite places.
