Arequipa/Diarmuid's painting

acrylics on canvas (80x60cm)

This painting was almost entirely made with a sythetic roll and a sponge. Only a few details (textures of the doors and the flower pot) have been applied with a hard bristle brush.

The painting was inspired by a photo Diarmuid had made in "the white city" of Arequipa/Peru in June 2006. The city buildings are made from a white volcano rock that makes colours shine.

This painting is now hanging in Ireland in Diarmuid's house.
