‘Autumn St, Stephen’s Green’

'Autumn: St, Stephen's Green'

This painting was done from a watercolour about two months ago when i passed through the park. I love trees and shrubs, as i’m a gardener. This was an ideal time. The trees at their most brilliant in colour with the sunlight cascading from the right onto the grass and figures gave the whole painting life. The transparency of the yellow is a ‘cadmium yellow’ - been very expensive, but worth every penny - i think it gives a super rich brightness of quality  the sunlit areas. It’s a great place to produce a painting. Photographers and birdwatchers alike seem to flock..(excuse the pun) to this lovely park no matter what season.
