Time to relax by Carmen Iglesias

Restaurants and cafes in heritage buildings with pink and purple colour walls in the Old Town in Colonia del Sacramento, un Uruguay South America. A sunny day. Tables with red umbrellas on the footpath. People sitting at the tables. A cascade of red flowers covers most of one building. Green trees above and behind the buildings. Two church towers among the trees above and behind the buildings. The buildings cast a purple shade on the otherwise sunny road.

Artwork Description

Oil on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Signed certificate of authenticity.

The Old Town in the city of Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay, South America, is a well visited tourist spot that still conserves the architecture of the colonial days when the Spanish, the Portuguese and the English fought for dominance and took turns to govern it. On the banks of the River Plate, this place offers history, culture and lots of pretty restaurants where visitors can relax and enjoy typical Uruguayan hospitality.
I have painted scenes from the Old Town many times before, mainly because it is my heritage but also because collectors can't get enough of them.
This painting has been done with the palette knife in order to achieve a rough but pretty look. I love the pink walls and the cascade de flowers.
The sides are painted black, so framing is optional.

There is a bicycle leaning against the wall of a building on the right side of the painting. Also a blue bench. Greenery and red hibiscus flowers cascading from the buildings. Pot plants on the footpaths. Balconies on the buildings.

Beautiful Spring day on Sydney Harbour.
