Port Street Cherbourg France

Cherbourg, France, 15" x 11".

Just off the port perimeter, Port Street looking towards a Brasserie and Cafes. I think with figures in a painting, for me the easiest thing is to have them walking towards me or walking away. To have too many walking towards you could look like something out of a Michael Jackson's Thriller Video, so I have to make a conscious effort to now and again have a figure sideways on. I 'make up' all my figures, and practice frequently with pencil sketches drawing them all all different angles.

I think this stunning! At first I thought it was in a part of Bath. Love the colours and your people. Are you there or have you just done this from a photo?

Thanks Joy. Was there and based on a photo I took on my brief visit. People were 'made up'.
