Rain - Victoria Square

Comments

Superb painting, Mike, and a stunning gallery. All those verticals against that centrally placed horizontal makes for a magical composition. Just great! I have stayed in Adelaide but have spent a bit more time in Brisbane, where my son and his Australian wife and children now live. I'm now back in the UK but Skype regularly.

Thanks Lionel Brisbane is nice and sunny but rather humid..Adelaide just blistering hot in the summer and cold in the winter as the painting attests! cheers MIke

wonderful atmosphere Mike, beautifully wet and gloomy, and I love the composition

Wonderful painting. I wouldn't have thought that a painting which is mainly blue could look so colourful, but it does with those touches of red showing through. Fantastic reflections in the wet pavement. Really confident and professional work.

Another stunning addition to your gallery. Have you had the exhibition yet with your "rain theme"?

Unmistakeably your work!. I do enjoy seeing your work here and this painting is exceptionally good. You capture so well the wetness and the near and far distances.
