Faro Old Town 4 - Repeating Shadows

Faro, Portugal, 15" x 11".

Sunny streets in the old part of Faro in Portugal.  With brightly lit background buildings (muted a bit with a weak wash of yellow and cerulean blue) I had to go darker with the sky - a strong mix of cerulean blue and colbalt turquoise.  Then from a composition point of view, a foreground shadow which frames the picture and a smaller repeated shadow in the middle ground.  A couple of figures connect the foreground and background.  A blob of white gouache was the final touch to the street lamp.
