A (Very Green) Café

I did not enjoy painting this subject!
Was it all the green? The words/letters?
Why is picking something to paint so hard!?

See ya Saturday!

  1. It's enjoyable to look at, though. The textures, colors and composition are all inviting. And some of the best bits are the owl and the lettering--down to the shadows--as well as the reflections on the glass. Very nice job

  2. I like this very much. The bricks, the sign, reflections in the windows and door. Composition and colors. I guess this is the thing we will always wonder about you guys, I'm guessing gouache, gouache always looks so solid compared to wispy watercolors.

  3. This looks like a lot of fun and a lot of painstaking work. There are some very strong elements here. It should urge you forward.

  4. I like the way you painted the reflections in the windows, and the bricks, and the owl’s perch. There’s a lot going on in the details that balances all that green. Don’t try to figure out why you paint what you paint - it’s some deep seated psychological urge that you really don’t want to know about…like, Is St. Patrick’s Day your favorite holiday? Do you really like owls?…
