Fisherman's Bastion Egg Tempera Painting

There are many grand and beautiful buildings in Budapest, Hungary. We visited for a short time so I didn't see them all, but I was very taken by the Fisherman's Bastion. Here is an 18 x 14 inch egg tempera painting of it that I completed a couple of days ago.
I love its rounded contours, simple elegance and the warmth of its light-colored stone. It was built around 1900 and was named after the location on which it is situated: the medieval ramparts of the city walls above the Fisherman's Town. During the Middle Ages, this was the section of the city that the fishermen defended.

You can see photos of Heroe's Square, Budapest in a previous post "Heroes' Square At Night, Budapest, Hungary". And soon there will be another post showing some more of the Fisherman's Bastion and views of the city.

I dropped my laptop mid-December. I had headphones on, and my feet got caught in the lead. Next thing I knew, the computer had landed, screen corner first, on the floor with a resounding crash. Fortunately, it was completely insured for accidents. Unfortunately, it's still with the repair shop. I hope to have it back soon, and then I'll get back to posting regularly and visiting all my blog friends frequently as I used to. I look forward to it. Cheers!
