About "Dolac Market, Zagreb, Croatia"

I had a long time wish to visit Zagreb in Croatia, and I found the Old Town fascinating, with its historical buildings and varied architecture. However, when I came upon the Dolac Market I new I had to paint this scene one day. The bright red umbrellas, fresh vegetables and the personalities of the people shopping there really attracted me. I think I enjoyed painting the cauliflowers as much as the poor man, waiting for his wife to pay for her purchases. The umbrellas were a real challenge, though!

About Angela Mary

Light excites me, especially shining through trees, on water and even on fur. I love to travel and see the world through the eyes of the old Masters, particularly the Impressionists.I try and capture that "special place" where the heart can rest for a while, away from the turbulence of our world.
Being a keen musician ( piano and clarinet, and saxophones in various orchestras and groups) I feel I can appreciate the nuances and musical "notes" when the eye travels over the scene I am painting.
I started painting after I retired from Industry, and the best thing I did was to join the Watercolour Society of South Africa, where I made many wonderful friends and I gained my Associate of the Watercolour Society in 2004. I then switched to acrylics, as the speed of execution of each painting and the bright colours appealed to my impatient nature. I currently paint with the Ivy Artists- a group of ex students of Sue Kemp, who have become firm friends and enthusiastic producers of artworks.
