From Toulouse to Paris Series : The Canal In Toulouse #1- 049sk



The Canal  #1 - 049SK





Medium   : Oil paint
Size          : 29.5cm x 39.5cm
Status       : SOLD


This painting was inspired by the colour of water streaming in the canal in Toulouse, France, when I went there for a conference. At first, I thought the river water was not clean and muddy as the color was green. However, as I stand on the bridge and observed down to the stream, I realized that the water actually was so clear. What made the water looks green was because of the reflection of the green from trees along the canal. That really impressed me as I never thought that there is clear green water. 
For this painting, I did not sketch line to guide me on the proportion, hence I directly pain on the canvas and guided with my naked eyes. As at now I still want to keep this painting as my personal collection even though I already has a request to purchase it. Probably I will open for sale once I completed my book.
