Afternoon On the Fire Escape
I saw this intriguing shadowscape on a brick building when I was out driving a couple of years ago, and it has been nagging me to be painted ever since (you artists out there will know what I mean by that!)
What really attracted me to this scene was the starkness of the symmetrical shadows of the fire escape as they fell across the weathered bricks on a warm summer late afternoon.
In the actual photo, the doors and fire escape were painted the same color as the bricks, but artistic license allowed me to change them to a lovely shade of Cobalt Teal, and I added the cats and pot of flowers, as well. Can you find both cats?
In case you were wondering, yes, I painted each brick individually and included splashes of Winsor Violet and Cobalt Teal in the bricks to help tie the painting together.
These are high quality giclee reproductions that are printed on fine art paper and come with a white border. They generally arrive at your home within 2-3 weeks of ordering, ready to be matted and framed. Most of the available sizes will fit standard frames with mats that can be found at any store or online site. When choosing a frame, the mat size should be the same as the reproduction size, and the final frame size is generally 4 - 8” larger on the width and length, depending on the size of the reproduction.
Prices for unframed reproductions include shipping.
Custom sized reproductions may be available. I can also mat and frame your reproduction for you, using archival mats and conservation-grade UV blocking acrylic fronts. Just ask me for pricing!
