This painting follows on from "Cafe Red" where I liked the way I had painted some distant rain on the landscape using a semi-transparent scumble. This one is hopefully going to look really wet as I try to combine the scumbled rain over the background with a very wet looking foreground with lots of puddles and reflections. It is thematically linked to the other recent paintings in that it is about road signs again, this time a sign for a Pawn Shop. I will also get the chance again to use red again which I am looking forward to.
I am going to use a green/blue background colour for the rainy sky as opposed to the pink one I used on "Cafe Red"
Oil on linen 30" x 20". I thought this format would suit the image better that the square format that I have been using recently.
