    This is not just nice, but simply amazing. I hope its hanging somewhere in a gallery.

  • Estelle O'Brien replied

    I wish! It is actually leaning against the wall in my room waiting for me to find the money to frame it! I’m trying to convince my husband to learn how to make frames…unsuccessfully so far…but I’m persistent!

    How cana you give such a bright vision of
    a rainy day?
    I love them..
    traffic lights are special when raining..
    Grey of the pavement looses the dullness..
    the dryness sensation…
    Vehicles… hiss when passing by…
    The image double by reflecting.
    Special hour of a night coming soon.
    Precious Estelle.
    Rosa (I have enjoyed very much your sharing in my “ToDeepenWithin”, full of warmth and originality.. thanaks a lot for it and your kind presence.)

    This has such real reflective blue. I love the way the blue dominants the painting. The scene is so real too, but yet it has a very soft feel to it. Lovely work. Smiles from Jane:-)

    Woww this rainy moment came out very well with your art skills…loved the mood and the whole blue tonning all over with those city lights and lamps…great shades.

  • GloriaDK

    I think I have already favouritised this one Estelle from looking up. I might do a rainy day one day!!!

  • Estelle O'Brien replied

    Thanks Gloria. It’s blue! Are you moving far? You are brave to be painting in the middle of packing! Thanks for the favourite.

  • GloriaDK

    GloriaDK

    No the other side of Brisbane about 45mins from here. At least it isn’t an international move which I have done twice in the past 7 years. Painting is relaxing inbetween times.

    I had some Genesis Heat-Set Oils too, Estelle. This turned out great! Love it :) :)

  • Estelle O'Brien replied

    Thanks so much rightasrain. Do you like the Genesis oils? I am half way through a painting which I think I have overheated…the canvas is bubbling! I find them lovely to paint with though.

  • rightasrain

    rightasrain

    Estelle, I ended up selling them on ebay. A lovely lady in Perth bought them – she was thrilled. I just couldn’t get used to them. I made a right mess lol.. I’m back to the acrylics. Have tried oils but the smell gets to me a bit. Hillie :-)

    I once commented on the reainy day…..knowing what yourusual eviroment is..this is out of the fish pond..and though you have managed to create a beautiful atmophere…with a quivering movement of the rain doing its job in any of the elements of the picture.
    I love it.
