Tavira, Portugal, 15" x 11".
A backstreet in Tavira, a coastal town in the eastern Algarve area. What makes the composition for me are the road signs and their shadows, plus the balance of the two figures. Those figures are the focal point and have deep contrast with the dark shadows behind them. I am still painting on old T H Saunders paper which has quite a yellow tint to it, so sometimes difficult to get some bright whites but ideal for this scene where yes there are whites of the building walls but they are tainted with other colours and inherit tones from around them.
Awesome composition.
