Lexington - New York by Jeannette Harrison

Comments

WOW this is sooo good. Don't usually like monochrome as I'm into colour, the brighter the better,but this is amazing. The loseness of the buildings , the recession, the figures are all great, even the cars! I'd be very proud if this was one of mine !

Yes, this appeals to me too. It has a lot of impact. Water colour unusual for you?

I like this too. It feels like you're in NY just looking at it!

Hello Jeannette, Lovely piece of watercolour work, not overworked anywhere, well done. I like to use just Burnt Umber, the results can be very effective. Regards, Joe

I like that very much. Love the simple but effective way you've captured the buildings.

This is not your usual style, because you like to use colours, but this is superb. There is lots of work in this painting, I wouldn't know where to start. You should try more of this style because you did a grand job of it. Thanks for your comments to my last post. Regards Lorraine

This is a beauty, I like the eye level as I feel like I'm walking into the painting. Very professional.

My wife and I love this painting. It reminds us of Glasgow on a pre Christmas shop! Very atmospheric. On the other hand, you can just about hear the opening tune to The Odd Couple!!! Lovely stuff:)

This is a very early watercolour - first attempt in monochrome - taken from a photograph. Thank you all for your very kind comments. I painted this around 4 years ago. I shall retrieve it from storage and frame it. I remember very well using a toothbrush to flick white gouache for snow. Thank you once again,
