Description
this was based on a photo i took of montreal, where i went last xmas. it was painted over an old painting that i didn't like, which gave this one cool textures.people have commented on how they can actually feel like they were there, and how the textures add movement to it. i'm glad they also like the lights. oh and i fixed the car, which used to look like something mickey mouse would drive.
i like the grocery bag that's not there. but is.
oil on canvas. around 8-9 hours, i think. oils are slow.

edit: SOLD! my first

Oh wow. That is such a beautiful and stunning work and oh, how I would love to see that on my wall. I love the rather light colour and the blur and everything on it.

I love this syle of painting, reminiscent of French impressionism. The composition and colors are beautiful.

i always play with the textures first before applying paint. my other paintings are all "texturized" as well.
