Rain - Payneham Road

Comments

Mike, I have only just discovered your wonderful portfolio through this painting. I think your work is lovely, and in particular the reflected surfaces of wet roads. We, here in the UK, are getting plenty of experience of wet road surfaces at present - summer is a long time coming. This particular painting is very appealing - I really like the textural brush work that is visible and the effect of diffused light.

Very atmospheric, Mike, love the tail lights on the car, and your free textured painting of the sky & trees.
