Warm Southern Evening

An old house with a mint-green door on a village street at sunset. A telegraph pole, a yellow tree, a lone figure walking down the road and, on the right, a glimpse of the sea.

Everything is soaked in peach and amber light. Tyunkin lays the paint on in broad, sculptural strokes and lets the textures of plaster, roof tiles and the dusty road come out of the paint itself. The green door and a few turquoise touches keep the warm palette from going flat.
