| Art - Vancouver Oil on panel 12x9 |
In an effort to celebrate the return of Spring and the start of the outdoor art event season, i decided to post a painting that i worked on last month. And since our weather, here in the Pacific Northwest, is just about to turn a swift 180 degrees, where the sun comes out to play a little more regularly, i thought this one might be appropriate.
The scene here, i painted from a photo reference that i took last August while participating in Vancouver's annual, Art in the Heart, art festival.
I really enjoy capturing urban street scenes; scenes that have an intimate feeling to them; scenes with interesting lines, shapes, and colors. And ultimately trying to give the viewer an experience through my eyes that i find intriguing enough to paint.
A big thanks to, Cirith, for being my unsuspecting victim in the red dress. Word to the wise; Beware, for you never know when you will wind up as Art in Vancouver.
This is fantastic Michael. I love it. I love street scenes too, but don't seem to love them as much as you for I never get around to painting them. And that's a good thing. You really do it well. Good morning Micha--what are you doing up so early? Have a worm you're after?
ReplyDeleteHey! I know that building and gallery! :-) Great painting Mike, I love how you captured the feel of that day!
