1922 - Musicians in Rome

1922 - Musicians in costume, Rome, Italy

Selecting colors is always a challenge.  I searched, but finding photos of 1920s Roman musicians in color was not an easy task.  I looked at this picture and I saw green and yellow, then thought no, then they’d be leprechauns.  So I get to working on it and try blue and yellow, ask my husband, and he says, “Make them green!”  And he was right, right down to their gold belt buckles, these men are leprechauns.  I’m pretty sure when I die I will be assailed by all these people I’ve colorized telling me they had brown eyes, and not blue, or their costumes were red.
