Barcelona Painting

I was inspired by the streets of Barcelona, Spain when I visited the City. I loved the colorful architecture, casual rhythm of life, and the local people I saw on the streets. We stayed on La Rambla, the main thoroughfare of the downtown area. This scene is from my memory of a back alley that I saw when I strayed off the beaten path. I hope that viewers will feel the warmth of the soothing light and colors. The laundry on the line was aglow with color, and was blowing in the wind. I painted it loosely, with soft edges to convey movement. I chose to paint on a linen panel, and I liked the tight weave. Although I experiment with other media, I am primarily an oil painter. I feel most comfortable with oils because of their slower drying time. I am able to develop thicker brush strokes and broken color. I kept this painting in a higher key to convey the shimmering light. Many of the Impressionists did this to avoid heavy, dark shadows.
