"Alley in Zumaia", each one measures 30x40 cm (about 12x16 in), both are oil on oil paper.
These two paintings are painted a year ago in San Sebastian, Spain in a small beach village called Zumaia. I painted these from the balcony looking downwards to this narrow street. I wanted to paint city nocturne and had this view available but wasn't sure how to do a nocturne so I decided first to practice day time when I could see more what is there.
For this reason there are two paintings of the same view with different lightning. On the left hand side there is a church that was ringing it's bells very loud every hour day and night. The first two nights we weren't able to sleep at all but after that you got used to the loud bells banging in your ear. This apartment is located few meters away from the bells!
Arty, we do add the city scapes in this thread, correct? City scapes kind of are landscapes but kind of still lifes too but I think more landscapes. Of course, this is plein air so in this case fits to the category.
