Painting Light and Colour

‘Rain’

Oil on canvas, 24 x 18 cm

Status: €120

Happy New Year to all!

As the weather gets increasingly cold here in Amsterdam, the time I can spend outside painting gets kind of shorter as well. The solution is to paint on a smaller canvas – a canvas board actually. This one is only 24 x 18 cm, actually smaller than the image on your screen if you click on to get the enlarged view.

The shortage of time also dictates going at it fairly briskly, no point being precious about anything. This is a view over the rowing waters in the Amsterdam Bos. I got rained on twice whilst painting this over the period of an hour. However, I am quite happy with the result, a fairly lively painting.
