Nice evening scene, Rob. lovely light and atmosphere. I find very difficult evening and night scenes.

Thank you Cesare. I start with the light, saving the whites, and head darker, although I painted the sky first to establish the darkest tone. In this scene I also wanted to contrast the warm colours near the street with the cooler colours of the night on the upper buildings.

Superb painting, Rob... very atmospheric.

The reflections set this off.....another great painting..

Fabulous painting Rob, the light you have created is excellent. Suzanne

Great use of light and reflections, a very accomplished work. Great.

Thank you Jan - it was the atmosphere of the place that inspired this.

Thanks Peter. The reflections were useful in perpetuating the vertical lines, and anyway I love doing them!

Thank you Andre!

Captured the time and atmosphere very well Rob, just those lightfalls and shadows create a very steep slope to the centre, am sure it's not like that.

Wonderful night scene. The dark cools and warm lights work a treat.

The buildings provide wonderful perspective lines creating a beautiful sense of depth. The clocktower at the end of the street keeps the viewer nicely within the scene. Well done, Rob.

Yes, a beautiful glow to this painting Rob, and lovely figure work.

My daughter spent a year working in Krems an der Donau, a couple of hours outside Vienna. Our visit there this summer was too good an opportunity to miss painting this scene!
