No Loitering - SOLD


No Loitering location is The Cannery at Del Monte Square in San Francisco, CA. The shadows stopped me dead. I knew I had to capture this shot the moment I saw it. This piece has painted sides which enables the viewer to appreciate the experience from every angle. It is ready to hang. I might call this painterly realism as well.

$325.00, 0il on board, 16 x 12 x 1, painted sides, ready to hang.

  2. I really like the tightness and the looseness in combination. I did a street scene like that with one gigantic beer sign painted realistically and the rest loose. Most people were confused, but I really like the contrast. "Painterly realism"...sounds great to me!

  4. I was taken by the color variation within the shadows and the really rich red/orange of the wall. A very nice piece!

  5. Beautiful painting. The red is captured really well, and looks so thick and rich

  7. Shadows are like ghosts... We can see them and know there is something tangible they are reflecting, but the shadow itself is hard to define. You did a great job of it though, Barb. Truly... to capture the color, shape, and nature of a shadow is hard enough in the mind; must be really challenging on canvas. Great job!
