Perugia, the Terrace
Unlike his famous dot-by-dot oil paintings, this watercolor shows Cross letting loose with fluid washes of color to capture a sun-drenched view from a terrace. You can see a church spire reaching up on the left and a domed tower standing guard on the right, framing a vast landscape of rolling hills and fields. The soft blues and purples of the shadows contrast beautifully with the warm oranges of the buildings, giving the scene a dreamy, atmospheric quality. It’s a rare glimpse of the artist sketching quickly on location, prioritizing light and mood over strict detail.
