Italian Street... W39

Acrylics 26x19 cm.
Again, I MUST repeat... WHAT A CHALLENGE!!! And still not very happy with the result. Acrylics was a problematic medium fot this one.. didn't use any retarder and had to prepare and re prepare the colours. I've realized cityscapes are NOT my strong point... I'll try another one, but this time in oils. Comments and Critiques, WELCOME!!! I Always learn from them, so I really appreciate them. :)

Comment by Silvana M Albano on January 6, 2015 at 9:09: Thanks Michael and Linda! I think that changing the sky will be much easier than changing the table!!!! I'mstill wondering how to imptove that... If I change the top, I'm sure I won't succeed in doing it again as it is, (now I like it and THAT is sth that doesn't often happen..), if I change the base, I'm afraid it'lllook as if it were floating...butI think that's the way...

Comment by Linda McNeill on January 6, 2015 at 8:49: This is great , Silvana, I agree with Anita, maybe lower the height of the table.

Comment by Michael J. Severin on January 6, 2015 at 6:43: Wow Silvana ...this is a winner!!!! ...maybe a warmer and brighter sky? ...because we are looking into the sun.

Comment by Silvana M Albano on January 6, 2015 at 6:26: Ladies, Thank you an awful lot for your encouragement!!! I am very glad you like it!!!:) :D :) !!

Comment by Pauline Le Merle on January 6, 2015 at 6:09: What a great painting Silvana. I love the table with the flowers, you have some wonderful light going on. I agree that acrylics can be difficult to work with but you have done a great job with them. :-}}

Comment by Dorian Aronson on January 5, 2015 at 21:49: Oh my word, what are you complaining about? I would be so tickled if I could call it mine! Simply marvelous dear Silvana! Smiles are in flight.............;-)

Comment by Jessica Futerman on January 5, 2015 at 21:28: This is fantastic, Silvana! Love the light on the figure in the front!

Comment by Silvana M Albano on January 5, 2015 at 15:32: Thanks Lori!

Laura, I have always escaped from cities and human figures... this WS has forced me to try it... It's the second one, after theSan Francisco WS, for which I have pained sth different. Try it! The worse that can happen is that it comes out not as what you expect...!!!! :) :D :) ! (And I'm through that!)

Thanks Anita!!! I'll see if I get the courage of changing that! Do you mean the dark area down the road?
