Quite Afternoon in an Italian Village

Wet Day Oranges

This scene is similar to a couple of urban scenes in which I reduced everything to a grouping of significant shapes or silhouettes with little or no detail. I refer to these paintings as Gestalt paintings because this word is sometimes used to describe a composition in terms of large contrasting shapes.

I have posted this painting as a "daily painting" even though after finishing it, analyzing its weaknesses I decided to attempt a re-do and post that result next!
