Fiddler with a Puppet Show Staromestsky Namesti Prague



Staromestsky Namesti, Prague Watercolour 28 x 38 cms
I  wanted to paint this photo for a while.  It was a labour of love which taken many hours and turned out  to be quite a scurrilous painting, with compositional and perspective downfalls.        

 One less in the “hard basket”  though.
The Statue in the middle of the square is of a religious reformer Jan Hus, who for his beliefs, was burned at the stake in Constance. Staromestsky Namesti is known for the famous Prague Astronomical Clock, the Gothic Tyn Church and a baroque St. Nicholas Church.
