A couple of days ago I wrote about how I am paying more attention to planning drama. In this study I set out to heighten some more orchestrated dark and light. This is a composite of a couple of ideas. I enjoyed painting it, especially for the old time-y sense of it. Great practice!Oil study: Celeste Bergin, Goodbye, oil on 9 x 12 canvas panel

Toujours mystérieux les quais de gare... Familles, hommes d'affaire, couples équivoques... arrivées et départs... La clarté que vous avez peint et qui contraste avec vos couleurs sombres accentue l'impénétrable et étrange sensation de ce décor.
Gros bisous
Love what's happening when you push your limits!
I love the drama! The old time-y feel is spot on. It's PERFECT!
Yes, you definitely are creating drama with the lighting and colors! What a fun experiment to tackle. You are definitely succeeding. :-)
You got the drama and the strong contrast here!
Your paintings are a great photo inspiration! :)
Gorgeous work..love the contrast and color and energy to this piece..and the start of a story unfolding..wonderful work.
Thanks for executing your lights n darks with red instead of the predictable black n blue. Much more interesting!
you got the Drama thing down pat. The painting draw you in to see what is going on. Get close enough and you might just pick up some of the conversation!
Here's looking at you kid! I love old timey, I'm already in the scene.

Wonderful work, Celeste! Love your concept.
I've been watching some old Turner Classic Movies on tv and admiring the camera work for scenes with this sort of dramatic impact.
This is just wonderful.
Love it - you have definitely captured old-time drama here. So, until next time I visit your blog..here's looking at you, kid.
