The gate also deserved a daylight version, so here it is. I changed the shapes and the size of the gate a bit just for the fun of it.
I used a balanced palette of three colours here, a combination I used before and I like very much.
With these three basic colours I can mix almost all the colours needed in a landscape.
To keep my painting clean and transparent I just have to avoid mixing all three together.
This gate - and the versions I made earlier - is based on a gate we saw a few years ago in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal. The 'real' gate was at a piece of land with only weeds and small stones in it.
No buildings or ruins, no signs of a garden or the remains of it, no burial grounds, no factory, just a mystery!
That is exactly why it appealed to my imagination and I am not really sure if this is the last Gate I will paint - I don't think so.
