lovely shadows Keith and great subject...you have captured the rushed walk of people trying to get back to work after lunch or something. titles sometimes just happen and sometimes can be a struggle.... r.
they are probably looking at some pretty woman! Interesting painting, I like the strong contrasts you use, must be a masculine thing, makes for a dynamic painting though.
Its a northern thing that Keith, rubber-necking, and just walking on, pretending you couldn't care less. Before long there'll be opinions expressed out of the sides of their mouths, LOL. Again, lovely work with contre jour effect. Just captures the moment.
My paintings are completed using oil on board, linen or cotton canvas,i have been painting for a living for 30 years. I paint simple observations of people and city street scenes, my intension is simply to paint on and enjoy, I have exhibited throughout the UK and in the USA.
My paintings are published by Washington Green Fine Art, please contact them for Original paintings and Limited edition prints. This blog will be updated with new work and Exhibition information every now and again. Thanks for stopping by.
Please Note : In the past most of my ORIGINAL oil paintings have been sold without being varnished , this is because oil paint takes months even years to dry properly and they should not be varnished until properly dry, i do not like the gloss finish aquired when using retouching varnish, retouching varnish can be applied to newly painted works ! but as i say i dont like the finish so i have recently made up my own matt varnish mix which is now applied to all new works before they are sold. Any one who reads this and is in doubt as to whether or not there painting has been varnished should simply look on the back of the painting as i indicate this information there. It is important (should the painting not already be varnished) that you varnish it approx six months after your purchase ( you can buy small bottles matt or gloss picture varnish from your local art materials shop ) paintings that have a heavy thick layer of oil paint should not be treated until well over a year has gone by, you can apply Varnish yourself while the painting is still in its frame just take care not to hit the frame but coat right up to the edges
Use a CLEAN soft brush ( flat sable 1" is recomended ) , you can apply matt or gloss varnish, I prefer a matt finish and just one coat quickly applied and not to thick will do the trick.
This will help to keep the painting clean as house dust and the effects of sunlight may eventually discolor the painting, it brings out the true colour and makes it easyer to give the painting a light clean with a soft cloth or brush now and again just to remove the dust!! ...... Keith

Thanks a lot Rahina Diana and Don
