Brioude, France Watercolor on paper
Brioude is in the Auvergne region, in France. I visited this calm and pleasant little town, with unspoiled streets and houses, to enjoy their bienal watercolor festival, last summer....
I painted this watercolor some time ago, but did not know how to finish it. I'm fairly happy with the splashed colors effect that I ended up with. Feedback is welcome....

I think this is beautiful, Theresa. I am not sure why, but my immediate reaction was that this was a rainy day...not sure why. Maybe that long empty space in front (think wet pavement), the umbrellas, the splashes of color. Just sets a remarkably beautiful tone for this painting. Gorgeous!
Very interesting piece, Theresa. I like the looseness of the foreground. The only suggestion I might have is to crop a bit off the bottom so the piece isn't divided at the half-way point. I'm thinking not a whole lot. Just a thought.
I was very impressed by your painting of the Egyptian security guard. Well done!
Thank you AutumnLeaves, Mary, I appreciate your feedback!
This scene gives that true European atmosphere, slow days, slow leisurely living and slow food. Well done, Theresa!
