This Watercolor Painting is size 22 inches X 30 inches (without frame and approximately 37 inches X 45 inches when matted and framed). The painting is done on a 300gsm/140lb water color paper.
It is an impressionistic painting. The setting is a waterside abode. The houses are built with stilts and planks above the water. It is in this environs they live and carryout their daily activities. There is an horizontal line of rich greens and yellows giving a rather calm atmosphere. All the gorgeous foliage from the trees and shrubs. Against the late afternoon colorful sky. Some orange, red, complimenting and providing warmth. The sienna of the houses seems appropriate as they come alive from the greens of the bushes. The foreground has people who feel comfortable in canoes from where they carry out their activities. And the reflections of things up down on the water like mirror gives another level of beauty to the whole scenery.
Evening by the river
