The painting measures 15 x 18" .The view is in Place du verdun, just a two minute walk.It faces the sunset.I tried to capture the moment when the light was quickly changing from yellow to orange.
This portrait of Richard Smith was completed from my 3-4 hours study and photo Reference. I used very long brushes which allowed me to paint from a distance of about 1m.It is something I used a few years ago and it lends itself to a more painterly approach.
