Painting (in oil) of a corrugated tin fence.

This painting is from a series I did many years ago on the subject of French Reunion Island. I painted murals there, and taught mural painting there from 1985 to 1995.

Corrugated tin was used for building houses, roofing, making fences and sheds. It was often painted in very bright colors and in varying stages of oxidation and decrepitude. Here is an example of a local "case".

Reunion Island has a warm tropical climate and I found the light effects of the vegetation on various surfaces, and the shadows created by them interesting to explore in painting. These shadows created a sort of lace effect, constantly varying and colorful. Here is a close-up; I think you will find these patterns worthy of interest:

I have fond memories of my years working there and enjoyed the color and texture challenge the subject provided.
