This is a composition featuring tourists aimlessly walking in the midday relentless sun!

Movement and direction is created by the descending figures contrasting with those going in the opposite direction, the whole reinforced by the pavement in shadow.

The air is one of tourist fatigue in the heat of noon.

However there is a brief communication between hat seller and tourist who is just passing through, the scene heightened by vivid and strong colours.

The original painting is also available for sale. Please contact me for further details and prices.
