Lightly Treading Acrylic 6 x 6 Urban Impressionistic Landscape

$100.00 + $10.00 S/H

I tried to create atmosphere in this urban landscape. Sometimes the feeling conveyed in a painting is the more important than how well I executed the painting. I wanted it to evoke a mood of romance rather than the hustle and bustle of a busy city street. Hopefully, one can sense the mood my brush is creating.

Kit Mahoney, my partner in the gallery was so kind as to let me paint this from a picture from her recent trip to China. She said this chef was preparing her lunch during a break from plien air painting. Kit could smell the food he was cooking the whole time she was painting and just had to stop and taste this man's art. I can only imagine how delectable the food tasted when prepared by such an artistic chef!
