Ray Evans Street Scene in Southampton Watercolour

Naïve street scene in watercolour by Ray Evans. I love the way the artist draws your eyes to the centre of the painting. The detail of the buildings is intriguing with the naïve vehicles in the forefront and only two couples wandering the streets. As you look at the periphery of the painting you see the definition of the buildings, industrial chimneys, landscape become washed out and less detailed. Nicely creating a fascinating piece, full of interesting detail, and full of earthy colours. What I love about art is the way it gives you instant gratification. You find it, you fall in love with it, you buy it, it arrives quickly and you hang it. The rest of your time is taken up by days of admiring it. Such a simple process to own art.
