This is a scene close to Charing Cross Station London. It`s from a photograph that I took whilst visiting an exhibition of Impressionistic paintings at a London Gallery. I have been painting it for about three weeks now, but in between other paintings. I don`t like to be too long on any one painting, I get bored.
Hi Vic,
ReplyDeletecertenly 3 weeks is a long time, it is good is finally finish. A very nice city scene. I too get bored when I work an oil long time. Happy painting
Thank you my friend. I couldn`t do anything to it on some days. so I reckon the actual painting took me say about four full days, but I started it three weeks ago. But boy am I glad it`s completed. I`m trying a new way of painting, well, new to me. You will see the results hopefully soon. All the best Mariano.

Vic, you never cease to amaze me. You are so versatile and have the ability to paint all subjects,and very well I might add. You are a true talent my friend. I just noticed what you wrote to Mariano, I am looking forward to your new work as well. All the best to you.
ReplyDeleteHi Vic,
ReplyDeleteThe gourds oils i made a while ago took me 4 weeks, glazing etc. Just not my cup of te'. Seems the more i work in a painting the less interested I get! You produced a good painting of Charing Cross! I can't wait your new way of painting; just curiosity, but if is new is good, because when you change you truly appreciate what you left behind, but more important what's ahead of you!!!!!
Hi Joan.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your lovely comment. Now, my new way of painting is far fron new, it`s just that I am trying it for the first time. Most Artist`s know of this as I have always but have never tried it before now. It is only laying all your shapes out first in very thin Oils, including the colds and the warms. When you are happy with that, you finish off with fat oils. In other words, Fat on Thin. nothing secret I`m afraid my friend. Thank you again Joan and all the best.
Hi Mariano.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like my Charing Cross painting. That is the last of the large paintings for a while now. I have explained to Joan above re` the new way of painting. So please accept it that answer is for you as well my friend. All the best Mariano.

I like this one Vic - a nice Lowry feel with the figures there and the foliage is superb.
