I haven't been able to post for a while, I was busy running Workshops in Art Shops around London on Oil Colour with Winsor & Newton- I was doing quick demonstrations for University Students. I then got ill with cysts on my eyes and couldn't do the final workshop at Cass Arts on "The Urban Landscape" but I hope I can get down to share all my tips on this subject in the future. I'll keep you informed.
After the Rain , London Streets, 30" x 24", Oil on Canvas, 2011 SOLD
Now back to this post. This is also another recent painting I have done with the mind to experiment with reflections. The focus was mainly on the figures which I enjoy putting into the urban landscape and the reflections and the mood in the air when there's a feel of sunshine after the rain. The scene of this painting was put as a quiz for an Early Christmas Present on Facebook and after many tries my good buddy Roy Connelly got it correct! It's Kingsgate Holborn! Look out for my next quiz-on this blog-you might be in for an early treat!
The couple that bought this painting had this to say in an email to me after they'd bought it from the gallery, and I am quoting them word for word:
"Hello Adebanji,
We bought your picture "After the Rain" at the Affordable Art Fair and
I just wanted to let you know that we are absolutely thrilled with it.
Good luck"
It is always good to get such positive feedback from people who are pleased with the work we artists produce!

ReplyDeleteGreat painting and even better to get such glowing feedback! Mission complete on that one, I'd say :o) Hope you're feeling better soon too.
ReplyDeleteYour recent paintings on reflections are very special - you've certainly mastered it.
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy. Cysts on the eye is a new one on me, hope it is temporary.
ReplyDeleteThis new painting is brilliant. I love the reflections and light that is peeking through.
Thanks David!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bridget, don't think I've mastered it yet, it's very tricky but I'll continue to experiment!
ReplyDeleteThanks Vern, yes I have been busy and probably I didn't wash my hands properly after one if the workshops, so any contact with the eyes ain't no good. Just need to be more careful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful reflections Adebanji!
ReplyDeleteThanks Azra!
ReplyDeleteLovely painting indeed! The reflections are great and I particularly like the feel of the fresh sun following the rain. Everything about this piece is spot on.
ReplyDeleteI pity your workshop students who missed out on watching and learning from a master. I hope you are well now.
Best wishes,
Thanks Deshmukh!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ashok!
