Lisbon, chesnut vendor


On a trip to Portugal, a few years back, we saw ladies selling chestnuts in the streets of Lisbon, and with the smoke rising from the coals, I noticed a nice composition, snapped a photo, and painted this in oil on a 11 by 14 canvas.

  2. Love the composition. I feel like I'm standing with the older gentleman looking at what the lady is doing. This painting pulls you into the scene. Great work.
