Gloria J Zucaro's "City Rain"

I started this oil painting wanting to paint a rainy day in the city, using one-point perspective, but also people with colorful umbrellas.  I had no specific reference, so had to gather pictures of cars, buses, people with umbrellas, buildings in the city, reflections, etc.  I took my time and I am satisfied because it conveys the mood I wanted.   I am posting this to Paint Party Friday and to The Daily Paintworks Have a look at all the creative work going on at the party.

    Wonderful work. I love the atmosphere you have created, looks as if everyone's on their way home from work and the umbrellas add just the right amount of colour:) HPPF

    This is wonderful! It really captures a mood/atmosphere, as opposed to being just a painting...

    You did an amazing job capturing the feel of the bustle and hustle in a big city during rainy days. It's especially impressive that you basically created your cityscape composition from your imagination. Blessings, my friend!

    I too really like this painting. The reflections of the tail lights and the perspective is wonderful.
