Warm Shadows in George Town

While walking around George Town one day, minutes from the local grocery store I stopped to lean against a bridge showing a view of the pink Harbour View Apts. It always captures my attention, but today it was also the warm shadows of a huge coco plum tree that drew me in, closer,to the water .

The warmth of sunlight splashing spots of yellow on the cool blue/greens of the grass, looked like velvet, so smooth and soft .

I knew I would have fun, trying to capture the texture and shades with my watercolours trying to recreate the peacefull feeling of standing under the tree.
I felt a connection to the relaxing stillness and wanted to show that in the calm lines of the blues I used to paint the water and the trees surrounding that huge and beautiful pink of the apartment.

I think that spot will be the first place I go to the next time I am in town.
