Summer Holiday Painting

A mature couple walk along a side-street in Verona. They hold hands in a simple and unaffected manner. The street ahead is pale pastel, lit as in a dream or a remembrance. Figures in the background are reduced to mere strips of animated grey, for the attention of this couple is not on them, but on the bright circle, imitating sun, that is ahead of them. These are an elderly couple I met on holiday. They held hands continually. The clock in the distance I have simplified down so as to represent the sun. The arms - especially the man's - have been thinned down to suggest the tenderness and trust of childhood. The buildings are of yellow ochre with some ultramarine and much white - the colours of summer but painted with transparent affect so as to suggest a memory or a dream. Details are reduced - the art deco design of the building to the right indicated by three loose shapes of pale ultramarine, the building ahead composed of nothing more than two broad overlaid shapes, the more distant one paler even than the sky. This painting is on a solid, fresh canvas frame with a hanging attached to the rear
