This week in art class : wet pavements. Also, dog leggies.

JRR Tolkien & Bilbo Baggins strolling along Merton Street, Oxford after the rain, smoking their pipes.

The exercise was supposed to be a seasonal one about how to paint wet pavement reflecting evening lights, since the rain is here for the autumn.  I'm not sure I entirely got the wet reflected light as shiny as it could be. but I'm quite pleased with the cobbles and the figures. Also pleased that I managed to restrain myself from drawing 999 details into the buildings and just going for light and shadow.

Also, here is Rosie Roo putting on a fine display of Celtic Knotwork Legs.

I thought of Oxford as soon as I saw your painting, was very pleased to see I was right :) I like the pavement effect and also the light from the lamps.

Rosie looks very snug :)

Yay! I'm glad it's recognisable. I had to make a couple of attempts at cobbles, but I think this works now.
