Sunset At The Acropolis was inspired by a trip to Athens in September 2024. My vantage point was Areopagus Hill (aka Mars Hill) directly across from the Acropolis complex. We scouted this site the day before, and the pre-sunset light was gorgeous, so I returned the following day, setting up around 5:20 pm and worked for about an hour. It was really a thrilling experience to paint at this historic site, and my study provided a fabulous in-person reference I could use back in my studio in Richmond (along with photos and videos) to create Sunset At The Acropolis.
