IMPORTANT: Due to the delicate nature of the watercolour surface, we highly recommend framing your valuable art to ensure optimal preservation. Watercolour paper also has a natural tendency to curl, but once mounted and framed, the piece will appear flat. We suggest entrusting any handling outside of the protective sleeve to a professional framer.

ABOUT THIS PAINTING
A small watercolour study was crafted through references, imagination and spontaneity.
It depicts a rainy city street scene at dusk or during a stormy evening. The wet road reflects the red tail lights of cars and the warm yellow glow of windows from the dark, silhouetted buildings. The blurred forms of pedestrians under umbrellas suggest movement and the hustle typical of urban life in inclement weather.
