Gare de Lille, 15" x 11".
The main railway station in Lille, with the facade on the left and some very active fountains at the entrance of the building. I think this is my first attempt at fountains and decided to go with a heavy contrast against the background buildings. All made easier because the fountains were quite solid and not little dainty things. A little cobalt turquoise was added to the fountains to give it a bit of body and help with feeling of clear water. The block paving pavement had these nice rectangular patterns which hopefully aids the composition and leads your eye into the picture.
Tim, I really like your work, can you tell me how much time on average do you spend on one of your painting.

Hello Joe and thank you. Actual time spent on a painting can be 1 to 2 hours. Before painting, there is also a little bit of time thinking and planning the composition and I mentally go through in my mind the steps I will take.
