another one of my acrylic paintings.. i´ve modified this painting afterwards, but it was so long after the painting was done that i´ve decided to post the original picture first and i´ll take another picture of it later and post it.

great color and lines i really love the bridge going over the building

There are three things about this painting that I immediately liked: The redness, the slight abstraction of the bridge (since it disappears at the ends) and the cubist qualities. It reminds me of a painting I saw once in some of the same colors, I think it was called Time; that one also had this urgent feel to it, which stems from red being a very 'demanding' color. The tall red buildings will not be ignored, something that I think contrasts the bridge, it's like the bridge with its more subtle and cool color scheme is dissolved into the stronger buildings. I like the 'drippiness' of the sky, it looks like it's raining. You made the painting kind of 'dirty' with all the blotches of blue and red, also letting the blue and the white of the sky cool the picture enough for it to be pleasant - and allowing little discoveries like the one of the bird. The motive itself is very interesting depicted in this style. I also like the slight slant of the buildings, it makes the image more dynamic, and I think that's an impressive thing to pull off with a cityscape, without using strong perspectives.

i appreciate your attention to detail.. it´s great to know someone´s opinion in such depth, everyone´s got a different point of view so it´s great to hear yours

i can tell why

great how the city almost becomes an abstract landscape, with the shapes and colors feeling more like a collection of forms than a city. i am in love with the red in this. so ripe and vivid.
