Red Umbrella

Oil on Canvas Panel 5x7
This is a second painting of the Venice alleyway. I wanted to develop a painting that felt more refined. The colour scheme is much simpler this time, and I worked on the values very carefully.

Comment by Carolyn Brunsdon on January 3, 2014 at 1:41: I really liked your first version, but then I really like this for other reasons. Love the successfully backlit figures, their form and shadows, and the reflections!! Color, well placed and lovely as well. Perspective that just draws one in all the way to the bright light at the opposite end, a full range of lights and darks, interesting shapes, and again, a recognizable sign post that it's your work, always the story. Strong composition too. Love it!
