39 Rue de Jean, a lovely restaurant in Charleston, SC is the subject of this night scene emphasizing the dynamics of light and color. This original, as are most of Paul's paintings, is a mixed media creation. The process began with a photograph taken with a Canon 20D SLR digital camera. The photo was then developed in the darkroom of Adobe Photoshop. The next step was a virtual painting of the photo completely hand-brushstroked in Corel Painter X. That image was then printed to canvas, 20x30, stretched, and prepared for painting. The resulting canvas was then handpainted in oils covering 95-100% of the canvas and finished with a museum quality preservative medium.
This painting truly captures life on the Charleston Peninsula. Locals and tourists relaxing in the warm evening of Charleston's historical district , enjoying an after dinner gelato, or waiting for their dinner reservation to be called. Beautifully framed, this painting will be enjoyed for years to come in your home or office. Your guests will not be able to resist complimenting your eye for art and beauty.
