About Purple Umbrella Crossing
A woman in a red top and dark trousers walks away from the viewer across a wet road, holding a pale purple umbrella with darker violet segments. Ahead of her sit yellow taxis and a grey sedan, queued beneath red-brick buildings and two dark green street trees. The lower half of the canvas is given over to reflections: long vertical streaks of yellow, red and violet dragged through greys and whites where the road holds water. Paint is laid on thickly with a knife, leaving flat ridges and visible scrape marks.
There is almost no blending here, only stacked slabs of colour that read as light on a wet surface from a short distance. The mood is busy but quiet, a single figure held against a blur of traffic and reflected signage.
Suits an entry hall, a living room with grey or charcoal walls, or a study where the yellow and violet reflections lift a dark corner. Pairs with black metal frames, walnut timber, and mid-century seating. The portrait shape works well on a narrow wall between a door and a window, or above a sideboard.
