A Street in Monopoli, Puglia

A Street in Monopoli, Puglia: Description

I based this painting on a photograph taken on holiday. I love the light on the upper buildings contrasting against the dark balcony shadows and the dappled shade of the street below. I have enhanced the original colours and stylised the cobbled street to give a semi-abstract effect whilst retaining all the detail of the street in Monopoli to give authenticity.

A bright acrylic painting of a side street in Monopli, Puglia. The street is viewed through an archway down a narrow cobbled road. The scene shows modern cars and street furniture contrasted with traditional old buildings and balconies where washing hangs to dry. The facades are bathed in Mediterranean sunshine with strong shadows. Strong warm colours and outlines give a semi-abstract feel to the painting.
