Faro, Portugal, 15" x 11".
The corner of 'O Seu Cafe' in central Faro, Portugal. The road surface here are 'polished' cobble stones - impossible to paint every individual stone in a loose style, so instead I plump for a very light area up against very dark areas, smudging out patches with a dry paper towel to add a bit of interest to the surface. The left hand side of the painting was left deliberately vague with that white van almost disappearing into the shadows.
