Original miniature by Goddess Gruia

I've been renewing, reducing prices and polishing my Etsy Shop in preparation for the holidays season and I have rediscovered one of my personal favorites - a bright miniature inspired by the old town center of Brasov (Kronstadt), a Saxon town in southern Transylvania, in Romania.
Through a mix technique (pencil sketch and acrylic colors) I tried to capture the charming perspective, color, and light of this area, called "The Town Council House" (i.e. the town hall).
Dimensions: 9.5 x 10 cm (3.7 x 3.9 inches). 
Feel free to visit GoddessGruia temple aka Etsy Shop HERE
See the listing HERE.
The work can be included among my medieval architecture-inspired acrylic paintings that I have presented before.
