Original oil painting LONDON RAIN cityscape palette knife fine art by Karen

London Rain

Oil
SOLD

This original oil painting depicts my favorite memory of London: the dramatic presence of the Parliament building glowing in the evening rain, in my modern impressionistic palette knife style.

Using wonderful mixtures of greys helps generate quite a glow from the deep golden lights. I love the contrast of warm and cool colors!  Winter is here!

St Mary Abbots Church London Rain

Another inpirational painting from my recent trip to England. I was so happy to see this lovely Church and flower market again. I painted this church several years ago, after my first trip to London and a few months ago went back to revisit and paint it again. Just after this snapshot it started to rain...so typical and so inspiring! The painting below is one of my favorites of England yet and I am auctioning it off tonight. Don't forget to click to enlarge to see all the great colors, textures and details. I love the bursts of aquamarine blue against the golds.

THIS PAINTING:

Lots of broken color in this rainy painting. I love London and tried to make this one shine with all my favorite memories of the wonderful city. I love the one of a kind red telephone booths, the funky cabs and characters that drive them, and of course all the great pubs!

Thoughts: I paint sometimes too much when I feel stressed or overwhelmed. It is my release and my outlet for my stress. The weather here has been so crazy and kids have been home from school and cooped up for a week. I'm looking forward to warmer weather!
