Italian Street Scene
This street scene was inspired by a trip I took to Italy. I wanted to capture the figures in motion as they moved across a brightly lit, cobblestone street, intersecting with a darker street that moves into the distance. Texture on the building walls was executed using a palette knife. The warm pink of the woman's dress contrasts with the bluish purple street behind her. The girl who is running from left to right leads the viewers' eye into the painting. Distant pedestrian and car adds interest and cyclist allows the viewer's eye to move further into the scene.
