What a contrast to your sunny beach scenes. I tend to think of Australia as being bathed in sunshine 24/7, but you obviously get days of "very wet rain" like we do here in Scotland ! The reflections in this are very well painted, well done.

It's raining now as I speak! thanks for your comments..

Nice painting. Lovely to get the effects of rain - sun - shade. You certainly have the rain effect here it looks very wet. Well done.

Hi Mike, Love this. Had a look at your website and love your beach scenes too, particularly your rendering of figures, they really capture the mood of the moment and make the viewer feel like they're participating, ( my opinion, anyway :)), you've taken some of the Liverpool spirit to Australia, me thinks:) best wishes colleen

Great acrylic painting. the blending is very oil like which i find hard to achieve with acrylics (even the artelier Interactive ones). I really like the treatment of the wet paving and that yellow light gives the feeling of the storm passing . It has universal appeal too as this could be a scene from London or New York . I spent part of the summer 2008 working in London and most of the days i was there were like this.

Thanks everybody. Steve.. i sprayed the canvas wet before beginging and ketp it wet tillnear the end.. blending was easy.. i didnt mess around with doing it in pencil first and that was the key it kept things fluid and loose.. I do use atilier interactive...Australian company by the way.

amazing.........love the reflections
