Dartmouth Devon, 15" x 11".
Some low winter sun in the Devon town of Dartmouth. A simple composition with the left and right buildings. I created the highest area of contrast above the car tops against that dark tree. Very often this is what I try to decide before painting - where is the lightest area? Where is the darkest area? Sometime, not always, I'm able to get the two together for maximum effect. The smoke effect in the background was done with pure white pigment 'rubbed' into a moist surface.
