Description
Honored to announce that Waiting For The Tourists Painterly achieved first Place out of 515 entries in the Fine Art America contest "City Life Part Two" June 28th, 2014. My sincere thanks to the contest administrator and to everyone who voted for my image. Congratulations to the other winners!
This is a re work of an image I posted some time ago. As we evolve as artists, sometimes we like to go back to old favorite images and give them a new twist. They may be favorites because of subject matter or light or color ... or sometimes just because of the wonderful memories the images themselves evoke. This one represents all those reasons for me.
As I described on the original image, this is a beautiful street in Old Corfu Town, Greece, on a wonderfully hot and sleepy afternoon in July of 2005. Looking closely, you can see the tourists heading our way from down the street while the vendors patiently wait.
Original photographic image treated to some painterly magic in Photoshop and Corel Painter 11 and a lovely texture from French Kiss added to finish it off.
Fine art purchases of this image will not include a watermark, and if I may make a recommendation ... this image will look its very best on the fine art paper choice of "picture rag."

Such a beautiful image - the colors, textures and perspective, if we didn't know those were tourists coming up the street it would have a sense of foreboding and mystery, but I guess the tourists are harmless!
