Piccadilly Eros Fountain 339 Acrylic

Piccadilly Eros Fountain 339 Acrylic on Stretched 3D Canvas 24cm x 30cm x 3cm (9.5 inches x 12 inches x 1 inches)
This little, cute study painted was painted many years ago when I would go and paint and sketch famous landmarks in London as a student and for practice.
Piccadilly was not as busy as it is today except in the summer when it was always hard to find a spot out the way to paint and usually with my back to the wall to stop tourist coming up behind and taking photos or even pushing me to get a better view. I remember when this was painted as it was when they boarded up Eros later for some maintenance and cleaning as i lot of people would through their rubbish from fast food in and around it. This was painted before, When Buses were round, not square.
The style is modern quick and Setchey which I like a lot as it captures something more true to live thane any finished work would be. The reddish orange building was in shadow, which is why I added highlight to the fountain to help it stand out and add shine, giving tit s solid foundation and feel of metal green patina.
If I was to paint again, I would move the statue Eros much further up to contract against the light blue sky. Small clouds were added which were not there to add yellow ochre and contrast. Sides are painted.
