This canvas painting depicts a very traditional Parisian street scene, evoked in the most tender and warm terracotta and subtle yellow colors. As you gaze into the frame, the scene is so sensitive and compelling it is almost as if you are transported into the autumn evening streets created on the canvas. This painting incorporates straight vertical lines as well as horizontal lines that merge together creating a nice plane for the horizon towards the center of the painting. The street itself is bordered by carefully rendered buildings, illuminated as if they were warmed by the setting sun. The background blends seamlessly with the elements of the foreground, creating a blurred effect near where the horizon moves across the center of the canvas. Staggered down the avenue and meandering down the middle of the canvas are a number of figures, walking down the street or otherwise gazing into the dim windows that they pass, creating a very romantic feel for this portrait of a city.
Suiting it's straightforward style, this original canvas painting comes on a single large canvas. It's subjects are rendered realistically yet with elements of impressionism as the primary figures- the buildings- fade into the background, the viewer is able to appreciate the simple use of perspective. The single canvas format of this painting suits it's classic sensibilities, and will make it a simple, pleasantly straightforward addition to any living space. It's warm colors are especially well suited for cozy rooms with deep color palettes, perhaps a living room. In addition, as a single canvas painting the canvas art work is a cinch to hang and makes an elegant room all the more attractive for it's intimate scene of daily life. If you enjoy the pleasant scene depicted here, it's uniform and glowing use of colors and simple, pleasing lines, you may want to take a look at our
