Lovers, what lovers? Oh, there they are. I was too busy looking at the buildings.
Only joking, nice shot …

unbelievable. i was looking at it for a couple of minutes.. as a photo. then i saw the comments, and looked again.. and again. and a bit closer.. totally out of the ordinary Matthew. and thanks for that little journey..
Matthew Bates replied
Thank you Simon, I get that a lot, people think that it’s photography, and then they look again. The paintings are intricate journeys where I learn everything that there is to know about that place and time, at least as much as I can. It is a journey of patience, with a definite point of arrival. Check out my website, www.mattbates.net to get a better sense of my portfolio.
