"Gandy st, coming up to Christmas" 12 x 10 ins oil on panel
I have long admired the great city paintings, with wonderful architecture, the people mulling around going about there business, and cafe scenes in beautiful sunny locations, But I had never tried to paint them. As the best paintings for me, are the one's done from directly in front of the motif, that's where I need to be.
It's a bit scary to start with, as every ones an art critic and the painting process doesn't look to pretty at some of the stages of painting, also as I am human, I cock some up to! It is exciting though, because I don't even know whats going to happen, and how it will turn out.
This painting in Gandy st had a spell where I was really fighting to pull things together, but I kept my cool and kept working at it, and I think this one turned out how I would have hoped, I really enjoy the two men talking in the door way of the vaults and also, and surprisingly to me the little still life on the table of Bill's in the right hand bottom corner.
