brizo del mar


This is a bar right down the street from my house - it's really quite ugly by day but I am fascinated by it at night. This is the beginning of a small study to work out colors and values for a possible larger picture. The setting sun throws one set of colors on the left side of the building and the artificial lights bathe the entry in a totally different warm orange light (of course one can't see that yet!). I put a figure entering because I wanted to.............I love solitary figures in scenes. The bar/restaurant's sign is in both English and Portuguese..........it is the Seabreeze in English and it is a block from the water. Judging from the music and clientele I am unlikely to do an interior.
