”Napoli Street Market” oil on canvas closeups

Note the patterns of the table cloth, the trembling background and strong yellow flowers arranged with some grasses. And the blue patches, just to mirror the blue sky….. And an interesting detail, the pattern used in the green table cloth appears also in some of my Garden series watercolors. Check the previous blog post: Garden with blue colors.
