Streetlights at Dawn

Streetlights at dawn - 35 x 50 cms - watercolour on paper. Mixing viridian green and alizarin crimson watercolours in just the right dose can give you these fantastic shades of grey. I also used the paper's rough texture to block out tiny specks of white to get the street lights in this early morning scene. The location was up at Virtu' with Valletta visible amid the morning mist. Fiery sky and all, this painting was eventually ruined when I left it for some 4 years in a damp, closed room while I renovated my Siggiewi house - ah well, lesson learnt! I shall not renovate houses any more :)

    Andrew Borg is a Malta-based painter, working in oils and watercolour.  He captures images which, to my mind, look good or have are quirky enough to have a below-the-paint meaning.
