A city scene in the golden hour, with a bridge over a canal and beautiful sky, Utrecht, Netherlands, by Conni Schaftenaar.
Watercolor class has recently been working on "atmospheric" paintings, so we were painting city streets in the rain, and such like to learn specific techniques. For myself, I chose this street scene (see note below for photo credit) and chose to make it in the early evening time - sun is still out, and that lovely golden light is on everything. This is clearly a photo taken in spring, because trees are just budding, with the lovely gold-green leaf husks showing, and people are out and sitting in the outdoor cafe by the canal.

Photographer did not credit the city, but doing some photo research, I found that this was taken along a canal in Utrecht, The Netherlands.

Honorable Ment...
Thank you for visiting my FAA/Pixels gallery! Please note that the FAA watermark you'll see on images does NOT print on anything. My name is Conni Schaftenaar. I have had a life-long love of colorful art but always imagined that I wasn't talented enough to be someone who actually produced art that others liked. I began to learn some techniques from a watercolor instructor back in 2013, and I've been continuing the learning process ever since. I have had much joy in the comments and communications on FAA with other artists about my art, finding out that OTHER PEOPLE actually like my art! It's been a huge confidence booster to me to get that positive feedback, and I really appreciate it. I primarily paint in watercolor on various...

Thanks, Constance, and no worries - I have the same issues! So glad that this brings you good memories of your time in the Netherlands, I so appreciate the detail of your comment!
Constance DRESCHER
I think I made a tiny mistake thanking you for your comment, which was not recent, but from last August. At my age, these mistakes occasionally happen. Sorry! I am not sorry I got to see your lovely painting, even though it was by mistake.
Constance DRESCHER
Thank you so much, Conni. Having lived my first 30 years in the Netherlands, when I saw this painting, I knew right away that this had to be a scene from the city of Utrecht from the spaces next to the water of the 'gracht'. Canals in other cities, Amsterdam, Delft, etc. usually don't have spaces to sit or walk next to the water. It is a charming piece!
Conni Schaftenaar
thanks to the jury in the contest Bridges for voting this one of the honorable mention finishers - nice in a contest with 740 entries!
