Beautiful! Love the bumpy bike tire and cast shadows. What is that box on the building wall and the opening to the left? Just wired money to your publisher. I am purchasing 12 of your watercolor books for my students.
You are a keen observer David. that box is a mailbox and small opening on the left is a deep nitch where they used to put night lamp in old days.that wall is a part of veryold building,probably heritage protected.
I am a full time painter
I paint what I see.
It is not the subject but the shapes, tones, color and there relation along with the play of light that crates a sensation.
I paint because I wish to respond and communicate this sensation.
The selection of shapes and tones rendered in realistic style with washes and brushstrokes is my painting. The selection is my vision and creates a body for the sensation felt.
If the viewer responds by saying “wow”, I believe he responds to that “abstract quality”,that”visual sensation” which I felt. This is probably my best reward and fulfillment than any long essay written by a critique

Striking! Yes, I can see elements of Wyeth.

Hi Milind,
I get the Wyeth idea, but his colours
were never this rich. What magnificent work.

I like how simply you conveyed the wheels on the bicycle, and the orange color.
Wonderful, exciting painting!
Wow, wonderful sense of light. Love this one.
One of my favorites of yours, I remember it well. Didn't know you had a blog - I'll add you to the list!
Stunning painting--love the value contrast in the light and shadows--
