FORUM ALLEY
Here is a studio paining done a few weeks ago I finally got shot at artworks. It's 24 x35 oil on Wood, from a photo. As my painting friend Tony Peters an I went in the Forum gallery last month, the alley struck me as making a good painting. Being that the Forum is on my short list as a gallery I want to get into, I felt motivated to do something new and strong. So when they see this work, I hope this "clicks" with them. I was also inspired by the Pizarro / Cézanne show we saw that same day.

I like this one. It's one of those kinds of scenes people wouldn't normally think of doing, but when it's done, you wonder why more people hadn't thought of it.
True Brother and even more to the point I wonder why as the artist I didn't see it before. I've walked by there before... Why is it a painting one day and an boring alleyway another? I hope it's the artists personal progress, not just some nice late afternoon light.
Thanks for your kind and thought provoking comment.
Hey, it could be a little of both. My own mood goes through many subtle changes from one day to the next. I work nights, and I have the rare advantage of seeing the sun go down and come up. You would be surprised to see the difference that makes in one's creative process.
I love the way you've tied the painting together with the gold shades peeping through from underneath the other colours. There's beauty wherever you look for it I think.
Thanks Lesley,
Yes this one had a indian yellow under painting to get it to glow. I'm happy I could leave the under painting for that big chunk of yellow building.
