I was in Buenos Aries in October of last year, and one of the places visited was an area called “La Boca”, a magical place where all the houses are painted bright reds and greens and blues. Being a huge tourist trap there are all kinds of street traders, artists and of course tango dancers. This couple I found particularly interesting, I presume the mans costume is traditional, and I took many photos with the thought that I would eventually make a series of paintings. This is the first, I have another two on the go, they are oil on small canvas boards , 7x5 inches.

ReplyDeleteLucky you, I'd love to go. I like what you did with the background!
ReplyDeleteAnd you said you can't do faces? =) THIS IS AMAZING PHIL! And it's got faces on it
ReplyDeleteHello Phil,
ReplyDeleteBlimey, your quick.
Jill is right, the colour and movement is fantastic. And I also agree with Cathy, its great what you have done with the background (and I'd love to go too).
I'm already imagining the other two - I bet the three of them together will be quite a sight.
Amazing Phil.
Stew.
OH, I love the colors and festive feel of this!
ReplyDeleteMuy bueno!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the way the background ties in with the reds on the dancers, and the undefined people watching. Great painting, and I'm definitely jealous of your trip to Buenos Aires - it's a place I've always wanted to go.
