Trying to think more about design as I sketch on location instead of just putting pen to paper and drawing immediately. Both ways have their advantages.
Hello Nora:) How special to see the two white figures sitting in front of the window. This gives a big contrast with the rest of the painting. Beautiful! Have a nice weekend:)
Brilliant! So much thought has gone into this and it shows. I am in serious awe and I thank you for having a blog so I can keep up with your amazing work
I love the graphic and design feel of this. The thought of ghosts spring to mind when I see the unpainted figures. Nice to see you explore new ways to do things.
I find this painting so intriguing and fascinating. Instead of looking at what IS included in the image I am drawn by the power of what is NOT included, and find myself continually roaming around the painting. It's just so great.
I agree--there's a fine line between being hasty and/or lazy and over thinking something until it's ruined. But I think you've managed to stay inside those lines!
Also just wanted to mention I find looking at your scenes so calming!
Ciao Nora, molto bella e viva quest'immagine della quotidianità! I tuoi lavori hanno sempre il sapore di una vita più serena, colorata e vivace di quella reale... Ciao, abbracci,Floriana
Yes,both ways have their advantages. Ultimately it seems to me important to try various approaches, which then get integrated into our own authentic ways of expression & feeling & process...I love the way you left the person in the foreground without color & how he unites with the other white spaces...In the end, I love how you captured the liveliness of the people in this place.
Dear Nora - I think either way you do a great job. Your colors always look so fresh and clean. Love your free style as always. Take care and thanks so much for sharing.
You know what I find most refreshing about this? It's a coffee shop yet no one is staring at phones or laptops. That's the way it used to be, when a coffee shop was a place for conversation in the real world. Or maybe this is an old painting?
Wow. i love this one... the colours and composition are wonderful!

ReplyDeleteReally nice composition! Love how you left couple of figures uncolored, and some parts unfinished - the colors are great, too! Lovely scene!

ReplyDeleteI adore that you left the foreground figure white - it adds a quirky uniqueness that is just wondeful!
ReplyDeleteExcellent composition and I love the unfinished areas, they add a lovely bit of space for the viewer to fill in for themselves.

This is magical, Nora. I cannot take my eyes off the windows.
ReplyDeleteI think you have a natural sense of design. This "thoughtful" one, however, is quite wonderful. The composition made me stop and well, think!
ReplyDeleteA nice place to drink a gorgeous cup of coffee, Nora!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous....
greetings, Alie :-)

ReplyDeleteHola Nora, te imagino haciendo tus dibujos con una soltura increible. Son muy bonitos.

ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! And I love the fact that one of the people has been left entirely colourless - and yet it works!
