Early Architecture

Welcome to another week at Soartful Challenges.

I was looking around for something for this week's challenge
at Graphic's Fairy and I was browsing in Karen's 
Architecture category when I came across this.
If this lovely print wasn't enough to catch my eye
what Karen had to say about it was.


This is what Karen wrote:
This is a stupendous (trying to mix up the adjectives here lately!)Architectural print! Isn't this amazing?!! This print is very old, Circa 1739, one of the oldest pieces on my collection. I wish you could feel the paper, it almost feels like fabric! I love everything about this piece, the colors, the perspective, and all the glorious details. Make sure you enlarge it so that you can see the mural on the ceiling. This one is so perfect for collage or mixed media work, or fabulous to print up and frame as it is!

Enjoy your inspiration piece this week.  Use it in your artwork or just
let the beauty of it inspire you. 

Thanks for joining me again this week.
