Wharf walk

Here are the most recent paintings I've done, worked up from the large series of five pencil drawings of the waterfront walk.

They're whiter than this in reality - though still dirty and fairly loose. The nuances of Photoshop to fine tune photos gives me such grief, so I give up... you'll have to make that leap yourselves! I'm enjoying the flatness of Flashe paint (vinyl based and with a gouache feel, as opposed to acrylic paint which is polymer based) and contrasting it with acrylics to play with matte versus sheen in parts of the work.

It's so hot the paint's drying almost before I can get it on the canvas (I love it!).
