You did take on a brush full in this successful endeavor to capture the look and feel of the alley. The blending of the aqua tones in the brick-work is not just brilliant but quite functional in leading the eye about. The complementary outside pipe really adds to the strength of the overall construction. I also like how the tire acts as a punctuation point in the middle ground. A fair day in Perth and a beautiful painting.William K.

Nice to see PG and Wayne here, and I echo the comments.

I really would have liked to have said what Wayne expressed so eloquently here regarding this piece, however I lack the language of art as I have not studied it, leaving me with feelings of inadequacy. (frown)<BR/><BR/>So reading these exchanges between “the three big guns” are an education unto itself which may over time see me gain a “masters in art!” Do you think? Tee hee hee…<BR/><BR/>Ummm…now how did I hear about THAT Exhibition? <BR/>A girl should have some secrets!(smile)peruginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00366571106469430201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2969601132690494832.post-59894939184416545052008-10-06T05:28:00.000-07:002008-10-06T05:28:00.000-07:00Thanks Wayne, That is one uplifting post.

I collect subjects with my camera during my lunch breaks. As such an odd ally or two has to sneak between the windows.<BR/>Not so interested in painting the people, but rather things about the people. Sometimes the photos get some chromatic work on the computer before I paint them, this one didn't need it. The building is pretty much this colour so it was a simple matter of mixing with direct reference to the photo. I think the uploaded jpeg's a little cooler but close enough.<BR/>Thanks again! I buy a you a beer one of these days.David Burgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07381162837513099079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2969601132690494832.post-27264091397631623002008-10-06T05:24:00.000-07:002008-10-06T05:24:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.David Burgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07381162837513099079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2969601132690494832.post-91436893144426451332008-10-06T04:51:00.000-07:002008-10-06T04:51:00.000-07:00Thanks Patricia, No I've been out of circulation f...Thanks Patricia, No I've been out of circulation for a while so had not organized myself well enough to enter that award exhibition.<BR/>How did you get to hear about it?<BR/>Friend, art publication, psychic powers..?David Burgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07381162837513099079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2969601132690494832.post-50809472998683208282008-10-05T19:41:00.000-07:002008-10-05T19:41:00.000-07:00The compositon here is what strikes me most.

Also the left-right-down diagonal in the composition --very rare, yet it adds to the way the work grabs your attention. The close-up is awesome! That rusty pipe against the wall, masterful, and...'The Wall'!! ???Green Floyd This piece taken together with the Window series is showing David as a master not only of composition but of colour too. There is a refreshing diversity of colour and compositon in recent works. As I heard a football coach in the English football A-league recently say of a side that was thrashing a rather predictable opposition, "Predictability is out. Versatility is in". David is in the versatility 'Zone'. And IMO that is where art is headed. More power to you, David!waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03902338888627726872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2969601132690494832.post-46370277327637525832008-10-05T18:13:00.000-07:002008-10-05T18:13:00.000-07:00Hi David, great to see you posting again.Your wate...Hi David, great to see you posting again.<BR/>Your watercolours never disappoint!<BR/>You really know how to handle this medium.
